Adoro essa extensão! Após a descontinuação do "Typio Form Recovery", decidi experimentar esta, que até agora tem atendido bem às minhas expectativas.

Doesn't do what it says. Fails to save textbox when leaving a comment on YouTube's comment section, in which the only data saved is the users name you are replying to, so stupid

It would be nice if there was a function that could automatically recover the text. By the way,It hasn't been updated for too long.
