[Windows] cookie-import-browser does not support Windows — please add local browser cookie import #764
First, I want to say thank you for building gstack — it's genuinely changed how I work with AI on real projects. The browse skill in particular is impressive.
Even though Chrome is installed at C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe.
Looking at the source, cookie-import-browser.ts defines:
typeBrowserPlatform='darwin'|'linux';
And getBaseDir() only handles macOS (Library/Application Support) and Linux (.config). There is no Windows path (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data).
What I Had to Do Instead
I manually exported cookies using a Chrome extension (Cookie-Editor), then discovered the exported format was also incompatible — sameSite values like no_restriction and null are rejected by Playwright which expects Strict|Lax|None. I had to write a conversion script myself before cookie-import would accept the file.
What Would Be Amazing
Support Windows in cookie-import-browser by:
Adding 'win32' to BrowserPlatform
Mapping Chrome's Windows user data dir: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data
Handling Windows cookie decryption (DPAPI-based, different from macOS Keychain)
I understand the DPAPI decryption part is non-trivial — even just detecting the browser and opening the picker UI on Windows would already be a huge step forward.
I'm happy to test any WIP builds on Windows 11. This is a real gap for Windows users who want to use gstack's browse skill with authenticated sessions.
Environment
OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
Shell: Git Bash (bash)
gstack version: v0.15.1.0
Chrome: installed at C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
The Windows detection/picker and DPAPI-compatible import capabilities requested here are present in main, with the Node SQLite/subprocess path further repaired and validated by merged #2964 (v1.90.0.0). Closing this Windows platform-support request as completed. This is not a claim of current Chrome App-Bound Encryption support: native encrypted extraction remains disabled pending qualification, and the newer Chrome 136+/Opera gaps remain tracked in #2957.
