So let me tell you about Lazarus Form Recovery.
This extension has been saving my roleplay-addicted ass since 2005*, when I was still using Mozilla Firefox. I’m so glad it transferred to Chrome because frankly I would lose my mind without it.
We’ve all had those days; thunderstorms, power outages, or even Tumblr just being an asshole. Suddenly your computer shuts down or your post gets eaten, and you lose that giant five paragraph reply you were making. GOD DAMNIT, you think as you curl up into a ball and sob your eyes out.
( or smash your laptop against the wall; I’m not judging )
The aptly-named Lazarus brings your post ( or forms, if you’re filling out a job application! ) back from the dead by saving your entered data for retrieval as you type. It’s as simple as navigating back to the web form, hitting the Lazarus button in the corner of the text field, and selecting the version you wish to restore. Each draft appears as a preview as your hover your pointer over each saved draft, so there should be little need for repetitive clicking as you check which one you want.
Circled, you can see that Lazarus is pretty innocuous. It stays in the corner and won’t bother you at all until you have a need for it – but it saves you SO MUCH time and grief. I recommend this not only to roleplayers but also to people looking for jobs, regular bloggers who are prone to long text posts, and people who use tumblr or other platforms for journaling. It’s an incredibly useful tool and I really can’t imagine my ‘net experience without it.
