Summary

Test plan

  • uv run pytest tests/ -m "not smoke" (124 passed)
  • On a Chromium-only Linux box: log into reddit.com, run rdt logout && rdt login, confirm cookies come from browser:chromium
  • Confirm Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Brave login still works

Made with Cursor

Linux defaults such as Arch/Omarchy store sessions in ~/.config/chromium, which browser_cookie3.chrome() never reads or decrypts.

Closing — we'll maintain Chromium cookie support (and the httpx 403 workaround) on our own fork instead of contributing this to upstream.
