Why autofill in Google Chrome is broken and don't guarantee a saving of your sensitive information

Today I show you a short video with the super strange behavior of google chrome (and other chromium-based browsers (Vivaldi, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Epic Privacy Browser, SlimBrowser, Torch, Comodo Dragon)) what can cause to losing you sensitive information.

When you are browsing on sites you need to fill some information in forms and almost each time browser obligingly proposes to fill fields with some data saved before (eg. Full name / Email / Card Number / Phone / etc)

Actually, this feature allows us to navigate between pages really quick and easy but the devil's always in the details - some fields can be HIDDEN, and Chrome will kindly fill it with all known data without informing you about this autofill.

So, if you fill some similar form in the untrustful or phishing site you can lose very sensitive information

Be careful and don't take unnecessary risks.
