All major web browsers, Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc., have the auto-fill function. This feature helps users save time when entering information, such as username, email address, phone number, and other text in a text field or online forms. You might want to disable and delete your auto-fill data from your web browser for two reasons.
Auto-fill data can be a privacy concern for some users, as anyone can use your auto-fill data if they can access your PC. And sometimes, it can be an annoyance too. For example, web browsers sometimes add an unnecessary country code to your phone number, which you need to correct later. Another example is that auto-fill sometimes swaps your email address after you enter a different email.
