Chrome - How do we recover the text in the text fields?

Question

I have noticed that whenever I type things in the text fields of webpages, even when I close Chrome, the text will still persist on reopen.

However while Chrome was opened, I was running some emulators and stuff that basically hog a load of RAM. What happens is that when I come back to Chrome, the text in the text fields are no longer there (the text fields are now empty).

I was wondering how do I recover the text in the text fields?

Use the Lazarus form recovery extension. Probably the best option out there.

This is cool but I was wondering is there anyway to recover the text that I've lost in the text fields? Like does the contents gets dumped somewhere before it gets purged? – Pacerier Oct 24 '11 at 11:25

There is no reliable/trustworthy extension that currently does this. Typio Form Recovery and Lazarus both appear to be dead.

Typio has also joined the ranks of abandonware. No longer works with current Chrome versions – yosh m Jan 02 '24 at 09:00
