What users say about Cookie
Ease of use: 4.0
Nothing's perfect, and sometimes it can be confusing to manage how cookies are handled between different browsers, but that's more the nature of the beast. It doesn't help that macOS gets in the way with its security, but that's not a BAD thing, Cookie does walk you through dealing with it.
Reliability: 1.0
Right now, it's very unreliable. Cookie is randomly deleting cookies from favorite websites that it should NEVER be deleting automatically and has long been set to not do so. This behavior just started a few months ago, and to be clear... I've been a paid user of Cookie for perhaps 8-10 years now and more importantly, have touted this app in forums I'm involved in, so I very much understand how to use it.

Version: 7.3
v7.3.1 is out. "improvements to Safari History removal". - - BTW, FYI: This version of Cookie is exhibiting a crash during Sleep on my MacBook Air M1 running macOS 14.5. AND the same crashing is happening with ProtonVPN on the same computer. I'm interacting with both developers about the situation assuming that either some other process on my machine is causing it, OR that macOS 14.5 is causing it (which would not surprise me, Craig Federighi, grumble). At least macOS itself has stopped crashing during sleep as of 14.5. It's typically lousy memory management code.
