Autofill entries have been one of the many annoying things for a long time. We can also consider it annoying from when they were introduced to mankind. Well, it is a feature most modern internet browsers possess. However, one commendable thing about the autofill feature is that it has saved us time by making filling out forms more comfortable. So now you may think if it is a feature to make your work easier, why is the problem?

The problem arises when the information needs to be corrected, updated, or just plain wrong. For example, it’s frustrating when you visit a website, but your browser will act smart and attempt to complete websites wrong, like twitar or yutobe, etc., whenever you type the correct address in your address bar.
