User reviews
Form Vault shows promise as a form data saver for Chrome, helping users avoid retyping on repetitive forms and providing template saving features. However, many users report critical issues: it often fails to auto-save data, crashes with certain browsers (especially Vivaldi), and does not restore form data reliably. Users also find limitations in per-site data saving rather than per-page, and encounter confusing UI without clear instructions. While useful for some, inconsistent reliability and crashes lead to mixed reviews and user frustration.
Pros
- Saves and restores form data on demand, helping avoid retyping data on repetitive forms.
- Allows saving personalized templates which is useful for repetitive form filling and testing.
- Works well on Mac and is considered a significant time saver by some users.
- Generally functions as one of the few available form data saving/extensions for Chrome.
- Has a simple user interface with save and restore buttons, which some users find useful.
Cons
- Does not auto-save form data as some users expect, leading to data loss during crashes or page refreshes.
- Incompatibility issues with certain browsers like Vivaldi causing crashes and data loss.
- Fails to save or restore form data correctly on many forms, including simple HTML forms and some resume builders.
- Limited functionality - saves data per hostname, not per page or multiple templates for the same site.
- Crashes or causes browser instability when using certain features like 'Edit Templates'.
- Filters out some fields unintentionally (e.g., fields containing 'pass') leading to incomplete data saving.
- Lack of clear instructions causes confusion about saving mechanisms and features.
- Does not handle quota errors well, resulting in error messages like 'QUOTA_BYTES_PER_ITEM quota exceeded'.
