Never lose anything you type into a web form again!
Never lose anything you type into a web form again! This extension allows you to automatically persist your forms' text field values locally, until the form is submitted. That way, you don't loose any more precious data if you close accidentally your tab or your browser.

On Google search page (new tab page) search from address bar not in synch with search text area so text area shows an older search than the actual results displayed. Someone had this problem in 2013 and in 2014 someone had a similar problem with Lazarus -- this extension is worthless. Sorry but this causes so much trouble with no gain and was hard to find the bad extension.
funktioniert nicht.
Funktioniert nicht
Ten dodatek nie ma żadnych opcji konfiguracji. Nie wiadomo jak działa. W formularzach wyszukiwarek wpisuje mi automatycznie ostatnią frazę jakiej szukałem albo i przedostatnią i jest to uciążliwe. A jeśli chcę coś sam przywrócić z historii wpisywania? Wygląda na to, że się po prostu nie da i przywracanie jest automatyczne a i to nie zawsze (a raczej prawie nigdy), a nie na żądanie.
Doesn't work on YouTube.
Does not work!
SO nice for recovery
I love it
Truly worthless. Previously typed text shows up in inappropriate places. Avoid this app.
Does not work.....
对于渣电脑，发帖或者输入网页上的大量文本不会蓝屏后没掉了
Noting happens after installation...
The firefox extension was better. Oh, and the one on firefox actually worked. Don't get this. It's useless.
Great possibilities. Used Lazarus but it stopped. What is a pain it I use a form repeatedly to fill in a different person each time. HOWEVER, when I open it, I have to erase the last person's entries in every field to fill with new. What we need to do is have a "do not fill" on this screen or at least the option to click a button and it "fills" what was there last.
It overwrites the values that come from server. IT should only populate if the field value is blank or on demand would be better. Removing it
does not appear in context menu. simply doesn't work. might as well not exist
Is not intelligent enough to be efficient. No way to choose when to recover, or what.
Screws up your Google searches: you'll always see the search you made *last* time, not the search whose results you're looking at. (You can get around this by first loading the Google page and then searching, instead of using the omnibox, but that's so 1999. No one searches like that anymore.)
It is a little bit annoying that forms are recovered after entering text to the omnibox. There is also issue with searching translations in Google Translator. For example I have text in Google searchbar and after switching to the translator this text disappear and translated is a previously entered text.
