@DonaldDuck it's not link only. It has words before it. And there isn't much more information he can provide if the person that wrote the extension pulls it then they pull it. The URL to a chrome extension directly identifies the extension by ID. That's typically the official link or as close as you'll get to the official link. – barlop – 2019-04-26T11:52:28.567

@DonaldDuck It's written by Francesco Capano. But that isn't that relevant. There is www(dot)editthiscookie(dot)com But it has some legit stuff and some junk links that one wouldn't want, and not much useful. The link to use is exactly the one that "Seer" gave. His answer is fine and gives a description too. – barlop – 2019-04-26T18:32:18.367

@barlop This FAQ answer says how to recommend software, and this answer doesn't really follow those guidelines (points 5 and 6 are missing, that is it doesn't say how to use the extension or how the extension answers the question).

@DonaldDuck Well whatever the FAQ says, you should use some common sense. The usage of the thing is you click the symbol for the extension (which is pretty much all you ever do with an extension), and you see a list of cookies. It's not like trying to explain to somebody how to use nircmd. When a program is that simple, it's more than intuitive enough. Anybody that has ever used a single chrome extension could not fail. Even as google chrome extensions go it's extremely simple. – barlop – 2019-04-26T19:10:57.977

@DonaldDuck If a user asked for how to view a box with the word "BANANAS" written in it. And somebody linked to such a program that did just that. Nothing more, nothing less. Then it's intuitive enough. Your run the program and can't go wrong. So, common sense(or insight) is called for, rather than just blindly reading rules. – barlop – 2019-04-26T19:14:05.537

The main issue is here Chrome is fine for viewing, and it looks like EditThisCookie gives wrong information and is malware/adware or at best, borderline adware

Thanks, it's not that comfortable as it was before though – Eddy Unruh – 2017-06-27T21:42:17.080

@EddyUnruh just find out what it is for the current chrome version and make a bookmark called eg 'view cookies'. I just posted an answer for the current, chrome://settings/siteData goes direct to a page with the list – barlop – 2019-04-26T11:47:46.583
