I’ve hacked together a quick [well, it took me all bloody afternoon, but it’s my first go] extension which does something pretty simple: when the button on the toolbar is pressed, it loops through all of the cookies for the domain [for the current tab], deletes them all and reloads the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

var domainNoDubs = domain.match(\/.*?([\\w]+.[\\w]+)$\/)[1];<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\nwww.site.com<\/code> into site.com<\/code>. There is a bunch of stuff that can go wrong here and my reliance on the ‘1th’ item in the array returned is pretty flaky. But, having tested it exhaustively on 3 different sites [!], it works. The reason I need to do this is because this call..<\/p>\n\n\n\nchrome.cookies.getAll({domain: domainNoDubs}, function(cookies) {...<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\nwww<\/code>‘ with nothing isn’t good enough. What this parameter actually needs to be is the dot-prefixed second level domain – or the highest part of it if it has something in front of it. So for www.this.site.com<\/code>, it would actually need to be .site.com<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
