CookieSwap Description

Enables you to maintain numerous sets or profiles of cookies that you can quickly. CookieSwap provides an extension that enables you to maintain numerous sets or profiles of cookies that you can quickly. Here are some key features of "CookieSwap": · Changing your cookies/identity to web e-mail sites (like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc) so that you can quickly look like different users. Nice if you maintain multiple accounts and are tired of logging out and then back in to switch accounts. Also nice if two people are using the same computer and want to switch between accounts quickly. · Changing your cookies/identity to see how sites like Amazon and Google treat you differently depending on who you are. For example, if Amazon recognizes you as a returning shopper they give you a different looking page (and there were claims that they give you different prices also). Google has begun to use a feature called "Personalized Search", where they modify their search results based on your user identity. There is a question about this when you create your Google account. The results of Google searches are different depending on if Google knows you or not. Use CookieSwap to quickly swap between Google recognizing you and being anonymous. Run the same search and see the differences. · If you design web sites, you can setup numerous cookie profiles to look like different types of users and swap between those users quickly and easily to test your site in numerous modes (you can hand edit the cookies to have distinct values in each profile using a nice extension like 'Add & Edit Cookies'). Requirements: · Mozilla Firefox What's New in This Release: · I finally added a user friendly way to add/delete/rename profiles. An Options screen now exists which allows things like: · Ability to automatically reload the page or window after swapping profiles. · Ability to choose which items show up on the CookieSwap menu · Profile menu now shows up on right and left click · Support for Firefox 3.5 · Upon entering Private Browsing the profiles have no cookies · Upon leaving Private Browsing the cookies are all discarded
