Extension summary

Speed up your day by getting rid of tedious copy/paste tasks between websites and web portals. With v2.0 it has been redesigned and recoded from the ground up for compatibility, reliability and ease of use.

Form Grabber is an extension that allows you to 'grab' text or input from a page. Simply click the logo and click the elements on the page you want (helped out by a handy highlighter). Once saving the input as a 'site' by pressing Enter, the user can then navigate to the site they want to paste in and click 'use' in the extension popup screen. From there, clicking each place to insert the data is all that is required.

Features:

  • 'Lock' - Lock an item using the padlock to prevent it from being erased. This means you can store data indefinitely (uses HTML5 local storage).
  • Easy to use interface - The extension guides you through the entire process, highlighting what needs to be done, giving feedback on what went right/wrong. One of the best parts of the interface is during pasting, where a message box floats around with your cursor containing the text that will be entered. (Just in case you forget).
  • Expanding 'sites' - Click a site in the popup to see what data is stored for that page
  • 'Forget all' button - Allowing you to clear all (unlocked) sites and start fresh.
  • Multiple copy/paste - You can copy and paste as many elements on the page as you desire using this extension. Even use it as an auto-fill! (we all know they skip form fields sometimes... human input with this extension is the answer to that)

That's about it really. Simple.

Please Note: Development on this extension is currently suspended. I cannot promise any more code updates for the extension, but I am now offering it for free so that anyone who finds it useful can use it - It should be fairly stable but I will not guarantee requests for support will be responded to.

Form Grabber cimrie v2.1.0 July 16, 2016 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/form-grabber/dchkbanpgboppemgcafbdbefnanhimli From what I see this used to be a FEE(Paid) extension that the Developer Connor Imrie [email protected] opened up to be FREE as it has since been ABANDONED (AbandonWare) How to Use Help link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4yDc8wj57Q DISABLES ABILITY TO TYPE ON GOOGLE DOCS https://docs.google.com/document/ Always on status = BAD (F-Rating) :( Extension icon in Browser Toolbar (left click opens a popup that does NOT do anything-NO useful functions) NO internal or external help page simply explaining in step by step detail on how to use this extension Options/Settings page has no Blacklist/Whitelist option to block running on certain domains, subdomains or direct destination landing webpages It only opens a nearly blank internal page named License Details: AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LICENSE DETAILS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION RESOLUTION: #1) Fix all the issues pointed out & respond for a re-review and will update rating & review accordingly OUTCOME:UNINSTALLED While it is possible to temporarily disable extensions through the web browsers built-in or third-party Extension manager to deactivate it on the affected URL(s) & website(s) which is far more inconvenient to a user then to have an extension internal options/setting page to Blacklist (Disable)/Whitelist(Enable) websites this extension runs and doesn't run on... This extension appears to NOT be working at all & without a help file or guide to easily understand how or where it works the ONLY quick solution is to Uninstall BUT NOT going to report to Google for abuse (Non-working extension) without wasting anymore time trying to figure out if it has any useful function AS it may possibly work for others but it doesn't work on the websites mentioned in this extensions Chrome Web Store Overview (Facebook, Whatsup website)
