Josh G (ID: 000000b997b34d9f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/11/2023 has saved me on more than several occasions where a form times out, I accidentally close out a tab, or whatever. And there is Mozilla/Firefox version also. It does what it is supposed to do and beautifully also. Note: make sure you limit the database history to 6 months or so. If left at Unlimited history, the database will eventually get too big and become corrupted.

Rebecca MarieYah (ID: 00000064c079e79c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/03/2022 At first I didn't believe it would work, but it did! I'm always losing long comments, forum post, etc., and I went on a search for something that could help me... I downloaded several things and they did not work. I then downloaded 2, this being one of them...Then totally forgot about it. So one day I was writing a Google support post and accidently lost my stuff. I was so angry until I remembered this app. But first I tried the other one. It did not work. I was so disappointed. So I went and looked through my extensions and remembered I downloaded this one. A took a look and found my text right there. It's amazing and highly convenient! Very simple to use as well. I highly recommend it ->
