Have you ever spent a long time filling out an online form on some website, and suddenly your computer crashed or froze and when you went back to that webpage, you found that you have lost all the data that you had spent so much time typing? Have you ever been in a situation where, after you submitted an online form, you were shown an error message and when you hit the back button all your form data was lost? Such situations can not only leave you frustrated, they will also waste your time, since you will have to fill out the entire form again.
For exactly such situations (network errors, crashes, frozen browsers and others), there is a very useful browser extension called Lazarus (www.getlazarus.com) available for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. This browser app will automatically save all the data that you type into any online form in your browser and will allow you to recover this saved data in case it is required.
Once you have installed Lazarus on your computer, the next time you are filling out any field in a form on a website, you will notice a small icon on the extreme right end of the input field. This signifies that Lazarus is running in the background and automatically saving everything that you are typing into the form.
Let us assume that, while filling out this online form, suddenly your computer crashes or there is a network error and you lose your form. In such a scenario, you can reopen your browser to the same form and click on the Lazarus icon in the input fields to recover the form data that was automatically saved by Lazarus.
If you are worried that somebody else using your computer will be able to misuse your private data saved in Lazarus, it is possible to enable security in such a way that you will be asked to enter a password to recover the saved form data from Lazarus. You can also disable Lazarus on certain websites from which you don't want it to record any form data. All these options can be accessed by clicking on the Lazarus icon on the input field of a form, and then clicking Lazarus Options.
With Lazarus in your browser, you will never need to worry about losing any form data due to a network error or computer crash.
