Working Effectively with Cookies in Google Chrome

I use the built-in developer tools of Google Chrome whenever I develop web applications. They offer me nearly everything I need for debugging and to solve problems with CSS. However, there is one spot where those tools fall short: Cookies.
You can see the cookies and modify them. But in comparison to the other parts it feels clumsy and complicated.

A few weeks ago I found the extension EditThisCookie. This extension adds a little cookie image next to the address bar. By clicking on it you see all the cookies used by the current web site:

This extension not only reduces the number of clicks you need to see the cookies. It allows you to modify all the values inside a cookie, including the HttpOnly flag. This is a great help for developers and testers, while regular users shouldn’t mess with those values.

This extension is a great time saver and should be used by anyone who needs to modify cookies.
