Do you use a 2018 MacBook Pro? if so, WiFiSpoof is not compatible - as the ability has been crippled by Apple.

Otherwise, the change button only becomes active if you manually change the Address in the MAC address field.

The scrolling field is an advanced option, which allows you to spoof your address (using the randomize button) as the listed vendor. For example, perhaps you want your computer to still identify as an Apple device after spoofing - you would select one of the Apple Inc options.

The vendor list is sourced from https://www.ieee.org, and all networking devices are identifiable according to this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizationally_unique_identifier.

@SweetP haha no worries, glad the image upload in your forum is working again.
cache is not set to be deleted so I can safely rule that out. it seems cookies are again showing up e.g. I am seeing an entry for this forums URL. I am unsure as to what was going on initially. I think we can consider this solved. I'll ping, if this happens again with another site.
Thanks for making cookie

Well, clearing the cache (and everything else) using Chrome's "Clear Browsing Data" command does not reset the "Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly" preference. So, it seems that Cookie might be doing something to cause this.

Safari 12 now has issues when deleting cookies (via Cookie) whilst open.
Try to disable the timer in Cookie, and see if that helps with your issues.

these cookies are all saved in the cache, which Cookie does delete (if configured to remove cache) - but Cookie does not show them in its main window.

These cookie will be loaded via websites you visit which access them. for example the gravatar site is a common site used for displaying your thumbnail (avatar) on various websites.

maybe try a full reset of WiFiSpoof, by deleting this folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.WiFiSpoofApp

if it the crash happens again, could you email the full crash log to [email protected]

I just saw the icon preload on a new site I visited before the site favicon loaded. I don't think Cookie is removing it - as I also remove favicons regularly in my install. I also didn't see any trace of the default favicon in the Favicon Cache folder

Do you remove favicons while Safari is open at all?
have you tried disabling Cookie for a restart of Safari, to see if the file is recreated

Found a mac system preferences option for spotlight to disable search results in the "bookmarks & history" category, which fixes the issue. Who knows if safari history is still accumulating in this location behind the scenes though.. If so maybe a future cookie update could address this?

perfect!
thanks for letting me know

@tomb21 that would be the folder in the Group Containers folder.
you need to remove the folder in the Containers folder

You can restore favourites, if you have a time machine backup. You can restore this folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions/Cookie5/data/Library/Application Support/Cookie5

@SweetP Got it eventually. A couple of app crashes, some unresponsive dialogue boxes and a restart later, everything is now working again. (Although I had to reselect all my favourites manually. Thanks for the quick responses.

That’s great!
