# Block Third-Party Cookies Extension

## Overview

This Chrome extension blocks third-party cookies to enhance privacy and security by preventing trackers from accessing your data across different websites.

## Features

- Blocks third-party cookies by preventing requests made from different origins.

- Protects user privacy while browsing.

- Easy to install and use.

## Installation

2. Open Google Chrome and navigate to `chrome://extensions/`.

3. Enable **Developer Mode** by toggling the switch in the top-right corner.

4. Click on the **Load unpacked** button.

5. Select the folder containing the extension files (e.g., `manifest.json`, `background.js`, `content.js`).

6. The extension should now appear in your extension list and be active.

## Usage

Once the extension is installed, it will automatically start blocking third-party cookies while you browse. No further action is required from the user.

## Permissions
