Autosave Text
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-17.
Save edited text fields to sync storage (available in syncing chrome installations), except for input type password.
* Text will be saved automatically when no changes to it are made within a timeout period in seconds.
Any change restarts the timeout operation.
* Text will no longer be automatically saved when it shortens by more than the given number of characters from its last autosave length.
Autosaving resumes when it grows within bounds again.
* Text will only be automatically saved when it has at least the given number of characters.
This avoids saving cleartext account numbers and the like.
* All edited and input text fields are automatically saved to sync storage, except for input type password.
The texts are available in all chrome installations you are signed in to when syncing is turned on.
You can still use the extension when offline.
Syncing commences once you go online again.

Needs a way to filter sites. I keep getting JavaScript errors using Excel online (ie: usc-excel.officeapps.live.com)
어떻게 쓰라는 건지 모르겠다. don't know how to use
Stopped working in 2016
The save cache fills and thats it. You don't know its not saving anymore till you need it. Then its too late.
It has saved me loosing useful text snippets I forgot to copy (into Ditto clip util), more than once. Would benefit from some polish, eg., the icon has gone from chrome's toolbar.
doesn't let you auto bring teh text into the field, you have to go to another page and then when you export the saved text it comes up garbled
