An EditThisCookie alternative that also saves your logins.
Manifest V2 extensions are being phased out of Chrome, and many people are re-checking which cookie tool they trust. JarFlip is a full cookie editor first — then adds jars, so switching test accounts takes one click.
Move over in two minutes
- Export from your current extension. In EditThisCookie, use its export button — it copies your cookies as JSON to the clipboard. Cookie-Editor can export JSON too.
- Install JarFlip and open it on the same site. Allow the site when asked.
- Import. In the popup choose Import, paste the JSON or drop the file. JarFlip detects the format, shows what it will write, and lists anything it can’t import and why.
- Save it as a jar. Press Save jar, name it (“Admin”), and you can flip back to this login any time.
What’s the same, what’s new
| JarFlip | |
|---|---|
| Edit name, value, domain, path, expiry, flags | Yes — including HttpOnly and SameSite, with the browser’s rules (__Host-, __Secure-) explained instead of failing silently. |
| Search and bulk actions | Search names, values and domains; name: / flag: filters in the side panel; select many to copy, export or delete. |
| Partitioned (CHIPS) cookies | Read, edited and saved with their top-level site. |
| Saved logins | Jars: named, colored sign-in states per site, flipped atomically with automatic rollback and 10-second undo. |
| Import / export | EditThisCookie, Cookie-Editor, cookies.txt, Playwright, Puppeteer, Cookie header — plus an encrypted JarFlip file for teammates. |
| Permissions | No website access at install; per-site, revocable. |
| Network | None. The content security policy blocks every request. Check it yourself. |
Why people switch
- They want an editor that doesn’t need “all websites” access just to be installed.
- They test with several accounts and are tired of logging in and out.
- They want to hand a login to a teammate, or to a test suite, without a screenshot of a token.

Questions
Will my EditThisCookie export import cleanly?+
JarFlip auto-detects the EditThisCookie and Cookie-Editor JSON formats. Cookies it can’t import (for example a malformed domain) are listed with the reason instead of being dropped silently.
Is JarFlip affiliated with EditThisCookie?+
No. JarFlip is an independent project by PointerApps. “EditThisCookie” is the name of another extension; we mention it only so you can find the import steps.
Does JarFlip need access to all websites?+
No. Nothing is granted at install. You allow each site the first time you use JarFlip on it, and can revoke it later from the dashboard.
