In version 0.18.0, I am unable to read the cookie folder associated with the currently logged-in Chrome account. It throws a permission error.

@zhaotong1121 maybe this should be closed as a duplicate of #180? (even though this issue was created first.)

If you can't manually make a copy of %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies file because chrome is open, it's the same root cause.

@darthwalsh Yeah. People are commenting on the other issue.
