Recent changes:
Version 3.2.3 (18th September 2020):
Important: The Quick Restore popup will no longer show for contentEditable fields. These fields are known to not function as they should after restoring into them. Typio will no longer automatically restore data into these fields because there is no safe way of doing it. Your data can still be accessed from the Recovery Window and can be manually restored by copying and pasting it.
New: Better support for re-usable input fields (common in chat applications)
New: Better support for state based applications (React, Vue, Angular etc)
New: The Quick Restore Icon now re-positions with input fields if they change in size
New: Focus is now restored to the input after using the Quick Restore Popup to restore
New: More accurate text preview in the Recovery Window.
New: Improved copy function with better whitespace handling
New: Updated FAQ page with more information
New: The options page has been rewritten from ground up
New: The entire extension has been refactored to es6 modules and the build process has been updated and improved.
Fix: Fix edge cases with iframe editors
Fix: Radio buttons are now saved and restored more reliably
Fix: Lots of other bug fixes and preparation for future releases

Fix: Lots of bug fixes.

Version 2.4.0 (29th July 2020):
New: You can now press Shift Delete to delete items in the Quick Access menu (from the icon).
New: Typio now stores the origin URL for each session (see "View page" next to the timestamp in the recovery window).
New: "Restore previous session" keyboard shortcut now tries to restore the previous session for the currently focused input field. If no input is focused Typio will restore the previous session (regardless if the inputs exist or not).
Fix: "Restore previous session" keyboard shortcut is now more reliable.
Fix: The Copy button sometimes didn't work in the recovery window when the entry was of type contenteditable. This is fixed now.

Version 2.3.1 (8th Feb, 2019):
New: Permissions description page.
Change: In the last update I accidentally included the "Downloads" permission which will be used in a future feature (database manager) that is being developed. The Downloads permission was not being used and was understandably causing confusion, so I removed it. (https://bitbucket.org/nicklassandell/chrome-form-recovery/issues/75/extension-suddenly-asking-for-mange)

Version 2.3.0 (8th Feb, 2019):
New: Changed blacklist to match against full URL path instead of just hostname (useful with regex)

Preparation for future release (DB manager).

Version 2.1.0 (18th Nov, 2018):
Fix: Significantly improve loading speed (quicker initialisation)
Fix: Icon loading is no longer a blocking event
Fix: "Site is blacklisted" popup would sometimes pop up multiple times. It was a bit excessive, so I fixed it.

As others have said, this extension no longer works (as of early 2023). However, a working fork of the original is available at https://github.com/tsukumijima/typio-form-recovery-reboot/releases/tag/v3.3.0 (though you'll have to install it manually – it's not hosted on the Chrome Web Store). Others have suggested formalizr (available on the Chrome Web Store here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/formalizr/ceoiohgolheciaefomofjboicekphfmp), but apparently it has less functionality than the original. You can see several Reddit users' reviews of these alternatives here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/10kuzoq/any_alternative_to_typio_form_recovery/

I've ran into the issue of typing something long up and somehow losing it (hitting the back button in the browser for exampe.) It's really frustrating and annoying. So after that happened I installed this extension hoping to never struggle through that issue ever again. Fast forward 4 months later. I'm typing up a like 5 paragraph response and accidentally hit the back button on my mouse which made me lose all of that text I had typed. No big deal I figured, I installed that extension months back so this exact scenario wouldn't ever be a problem. Felt like a genius who outsmarted the computer as I strolled my mouse cursor up to the mountain tops that is the extensions icon in Google Chrome ready to open this extension in victory. Knowing I had accounted for this very scenario and had the galaxy brain to have my text sitting right there in the extension. To make it seem like it never happened. But this extension is a piece of garbage because when I opened up the dashboard, no text was there. This extension has one job and it can't do that one single thing correctly. It's impressive how bad of a piece of software this is actually. With one singular goal, it completely misses the mark and then some sad developer actually has to publish this complete waste of time onto Google's servers and stare into his disheveled reflection beaming off of his computer monitor knowing that this abomination is his life's work.
