Textarea Cache: Auto-saving Text Input Chrome Extension

'Textarea Cache' is a Chrome extension designed to ensure nothing you type gets lost. Every keystroke in a text input field or WYSIWYG editor is automatically saved. In case the tab or the window closes unexpectedly, you are able to recover the text from the cache panel. This extension provides an additional layer of data protection during your online activities.

Das Netz und der doppelte Boden für alle Webworker, die den Großteil ihres Arbeitstages in Formfields, wie diesem verbringen. Hmm.. dieses im Chrome Web Store taucht jetzt gerade nicht auf bevor ich es Poste... Was aber bei anderen Formularfelder geklappt hat. Also ein Stern weniger.
