How it Works

The extension at it's core is fairly simple. It takes advantage of Google Chrome Extension's cookie & storage APIs. When a new profile is created, the profile name is stored in Google Chrome's local storage. Then when you switch to another profile, the cookie data for the website on the active tab is saved to the previous profile; And the cookie data from the local storage is loaded into the cookie store, effectively swapping the cookies.
