Stopped working on Edge and Chrome

Edge Error:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\Ahmed Ramdan\\AppData\\Roaming\\..\\Local\\Microsoft\\Edge\\User Data\\Default\\Network\\Cookies'

Chrome Error:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\Ahmed Ramdan\\AppData\\Roaming\\..\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Network\\Cookies'

I have tried using load(), edge(), and chrome() when getting the cookies, but same error.

I'm having the same problem. Chrome, Edge and Brave get the permission error, while firefox works properly.

Same problem for me with Edge

[bhkluc]

same for me, if you copy cookfile manually and rename it works though ... just an issue with copying

[ColorfulQuark]

@bhkluc Please describe in more detail what you did, including how you got browser_cookie3 to use the file you copied.

I am also having this issue. Has anyone been able to find a fix/workaround?

This looks to be a duplicate of #180. You can either close the browser completely (note that edge sometimes leaves some background processes named msedge.exe that need to be killed) or use --disable-features=LockProfileCookieDatabase option on Chrome to disable the lock. See that issue for more details.

I am using edge, will the feature flag still work? and for my use case, it is not an option to close out of the browser before running the program. Is there an alternative fix?

I also had this problem
So I rewrote the library in Rust
And you can work with it from Python
In the implementation I did, there is no need to close the browsers to load the cookies! 🚀
You can try it here and let me know if it works for your github.com/rookie

Thank you, that works great!

我也遇到了这个问题， 所以我重写了库Rust ，您可以从中使用它，Python 在我所做的实现中，无需关闭浏览器即可加载 cookie！🚀 您可以在此处尝试，并让我知道它是否适用于您的github.com/rookie
