This is a huge problem, and is the reason I've had Lazarus installed for a few years now.

Apparently it exists for Chrome now, too.
- mikeash 14y agoThinking about it, I'm mildly amazed that the browsers themselves didn't solve this problem back in 1996 or so.

- fudged71 14y agoMaybe it's a security issue? With some sites you might not want that information saved, perhaps.
- guillaumepotier 14y agoGood call. Not thought about that. At least, it is shown to the user, and not hidden and recorded secretly.
- aw3c2 14y agoOpera saves forms when possible. It also has instant backward navigation from cache. I guess it saves forms on cached pages.
- dbaupp 14y agoFirefox seems to do this sometimes too. (e.g. I went backwards then forwards while typing this, and my text was retained.)
- anothermachine 14y agoForm content recall is a native Chrome feature now.
- SquareWheel 14y agoDo you have a link? I've followed Chrome development pretty closely and have never seen that. I too use Lazarus.
- mikescar 14y agoNot a link, but without any plugins of that type installed, this is the behavior I've had for a long time now. (I use Chrome for everything until I need to test apps in FF).
- LearnYouALisp 14y agoCould you explain that? I lost forms yesterday that I couldn't see any way to recall.
