Here is apython example using webdriver_manager

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager


options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# loading the extension Edit-This-Cookie
options.add_argument("--load-extension=./Edit-This-Cookie")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(), chrome_options=options)

driver.get("https://google.com")
