Activity
Assuming opera and GX store cookies similarly, You can do
--cookies-from-browser "opera:path/to/gx/profile". This allows us to not have to support the different variants of each browser explicitly.

I typed into terminal
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser "Firefox:/home/{username}/.librewolf/"and it just gave me the standard error message.

The command
--cookies-from-browserworks fine on regular Opera but it does not support Opera GX. Opera GX support only requires a few additions incookies.pyto look inOpera Software\Opera GX Stablesimilar to how regular Opera is dealt with. This will allow Opera GX users like me to be able to avoid having to extract cookies manually every time.
