Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/1167

To solve "cookies" and "login" issues easily, we could add "cookies" to the extension manifest, and let the user decide on each tab (when he clicks on "hoarder") to share the current cookies with the backend, so the puppeteer instance would be logged in (and if he does that, the scraping of the current page should be retried once the cookies are added, so that it gets the full data and not paywalls)

chrome.tabs.query({ active: true, currentWindow: true }, (tabs) => {
  const url = new URL(tabs[0].url);

  chrome.cookies.getAll({ domain: url.hostname }, (cookies) => {
    fetch('https://your-backend/upload-cookies', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        domain: url.hostname,
        cookies
      }),
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
    });
  });
});

I second this. Currently I am using this as a workaround but it is not fully utilizing hoarders possibilities. https://docs.hoarder.app/Guides/singlefile

I don't think chrome allows extensions to be able to read the cookies of the website it's triggered on?

I think it does, since there are extensions doing exactly this (showing the
cookies of the current website)
