Description of the issue: Removed extension is still dropping cookies that cannot be deleted
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Installed Audio Capture from web store on https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chrome-audio-capture/kfokdmfpdnokpmpbjhjbcabgligoelgp

  2. After using, for what I needed, I removed it.

  3. Regardless of removal, the cookies still appear as per attached upon reload, browser restart, it chronically reappears.

Expected result: Extension removal = no more cookie drops

Brave Version( check About Brave): 1.82.172

Additional Information: Even went through the entire ./config file for BraveBrowser, stripping sessions and tabs and seeking the persistent extension to no avail. It’s not there, but it’s still dropping cookies.

Thank you for the help!

Thank you for the detailed report. Can you please share the exact distro you’re using as well as whether you installed via curl commands from our website or from Flatpak/Snap/etc.?

Additionally, you’ve confirmed that there are no remaining traces of the extension anywhere on your PC (not just in your Brave User Data folder)?

Thank you for the reply!

I am using Debian 10 and installed it via aptitude after adding the repository (I used curl for the keyring as per instructions).

I searched my entire hard drive for extension remnants without luck. Even manually browsed /opt, /etc, /usr

I tried reporting the extension as “unremoveable”, but apparently that doesn’t violate Chrome Webstore’s TOS

Cheers!

If there are no traces anywhere on your PC and you’ve confirmed it’s fully removed from Brave then I have no idea why that cookie is still listed in the browser. Let me do some digging on this and I’ll get back to you
