FAQ
- Can I export someone else's friends?
Only friend lists your account can actually view; you authenticate as yourself with your own cookies. - Is my password involved?
No — a session cookie proves you're logged in without exposing your password or email. - Why do I need cookies?
Friends lists aren't public, so the exporter must act as you to read them.
