To export cookies from Google Chrome, you’ll need to use a browser extension such as “EditThisCookie” or “Cookie-Editor.” Here’s how to do it using the “EditThisCookie” extension:

• Install the “EditThisCookie” extension from the Chrome Web Store.

• Click on the “EditThisCookie” extension icon in the browser toolbar.
• In the extension popup, go to the “Export” tab.
• Click on the “Export” button to export all cookies from the current website in JSON format.
• Save the JSON file to your desired location on your computer.

2. Mozilla Firefox:

Firefox doesn’t have built-in support for exporting cookies, but you can use the “Cookie Quick Manager” extension to achieve this:

• Install the “Cookie Quick Manager” extension from the Firefox Add-ons website.
• After installation, open the extension by clicking on its icon in the browser toolbar.
• Go to the “Cookies” tab and select the cookies you want to export.

3. Microsoft Edge:

Microsoft Edge also lacks built-in functionality for exporting cookies, but you can use extensions like “Cookie Editor” for this purpose:

• Install the “Cookie Editor” extension from the Microsoft Edge Add-ons website.

Exporting cookies from Safari is a bit more complex and typically requires using developer tools:

• Open Safari and navigate to the website for which you want to export cookies.
• Go to Safari > Preferences > Advanced and enable the “Show Develop menu in menu bar” option.
• Go to Develop > Show Web Inspector.
• In the Web Inspector, go to the “Storage” tab and select “Cookies” from the sidebar.
