Kekerykek7d ago@dumbmoron, It's actually tied to the autofill setting in Chromium browsers. The list you're seeing in my screenshot and the recording is browser's own. Here's the proof, it's from Edge, it's the same in Ungoogled Chromium, and every other Chromium browser.

Kekerykek7d agoThey're stored in the autofill data as well. I keep this feature turned off in every browser, so it kinda irks me that Helium has no option to disable it in the UI.
dumbmoron7d agothat's true
autofill is not autocomplete, autofill is about filling personal information (e.g. addresses, payment info, etc.). autocomplete is a standard feature which is usually opted-out by the website creator.
