Needing to delete specific cookies does arise occasionally, and we have dev tools or the cookie viewer under the lock for that.

However, needing to delete those cookies without first viewing the page due to side effects - that is a very niche use case.

Is it? I feel like most of my atrocious cookie hand fix cases end up being broken redirects where you get redirected to some new url that errors, so loading the page doesn't help to get rid of the offending cookie.

That would be an atrocious bit of engineering from the developer. But I suspect that even in that case, holding Escape as you load the page would kill the redirect.

Not who you were responding to, but I've had that happen on Microsoft flows.

Manually interrupting most flows is practically impossible. Too fast, and can chain across a half dozen (sub)domains near instantly. The web hasn't been that slow or simple in a long time.

Yes, as mentioned, from atrocious engineering.
