Feature Request: Add Microsoft Edge browser cookie support for macOS

Problem

Currently, CodexBar on macOS only supports Safari, Chrome, and Firefox for cookie-based authentication. Many users (like myself) use Microsoft Edge as their primary browser and would like CodexBar to read cookies from Edge.

Expected Behavior

CodexBar should be able to read session cookies from Microsoft Edge on macOS, similar to how it supports Chrome.

Context

  • CodexBar version: Latest
  • macOS version: 14+
  • Browser: Microsoft Edge

Why this should work

  • Win-CodexBar (Windows port) already supports Edge with DPAPI + AES-256-GCM encryption
  • macOS Edge stores cookies in ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge/
  • The cookie structure is likely similar to Chrome (Chromium-based)

Potential Implementation

  1. Add Edge browser detection
  2. Point to Edge cookie storage path
  3. Reuse existing Chrome decryption logic (if encryption is compatible)

Looking forward to contributing this feature if guidance is provided!
