Read the steps as text
- Write. You type a long support message on a site where Form Rescue is enabled. About a second after you pause, the extension saves it in your browser and shows “Saved locally”.
- Interruption. The page refreshes (or the tab closes, or you are signed out). The form comes back empty.
- Review. From the Form Rescue toolbar button you choose “Review drafts”. An extension-owned page shows the saved text and asks which fields to restore, noting that restoring makes the text available to the website.
- Restored. You press “Restore selected fields” and your text is back in the form. Nothing is restored automatically.
The real extension, recorded
Recorded with the development build on a synthetic test page (no real data). The test build is pre-approved for the local test site, so the browser's own permission prompt doesn't appear; in normal use your browser asks before the first save on a site.

Recording transcript
A synthetic “Contact support” page is open. The Form Rescue popup shows “Not enabled”; the user enables protection for the site. They type a support message; the popup reports “Saved locally”. The page is refreshed and the field is empty. The popup shows one saved draft; the user opens Review drafts, reviews the saved text beside the empty field, and restores it. The text is back in the form.
