Cookie 6: after reinstalling over 3000 favorites are introduced

[smolk]

I had to reinstall Cookie 6, or perhaps it was after upgrading to Big Sur (at about the same time), but Cookie now has thousands of favorites for the browsers that I use (main browser Brave, but also Safari and Firefox). I have NO favorites at all times. Unchecking them takes 8,000 clicks... How can I remove them all at once?

When I delete the favorites file from /Library/Containers/ etc they simply return.
Any advice would be appreciated.

@smolk do you have Synchronize with Browser Bookmarks checked on the Advanced tab in Preferences?

If so, uncheck it.
you can easily uncheck all favourites using the contextual menus. right-click (control-click) in Cookie's Websites view to show the menu.

@sweetp I hadn't - and I accidentally discovered the right-click method, so all has been resolved now! This question is resolved.

Perfect!
