Hi is there a way to use autofill in gnome web (eg. plugin)?
It’s boring, every time, to login in websites digiting Id and Pw! I tried to add a shortcut but it doesn’t work!
I installed seahorse (gnome keyring) but I didn’t find this option!
I inspected browser preferences and searched on internet without success!
Thank you!!
You may want to install Firefox for that (and consider the modifications here: Mobile-Friendly Firefox Customizations for Librem 5 which will make it a bit more bearable)
Thank you for your answer but I prefer to use gnome web! I don’t trust Firefox anymore after I read here that Mozilla is financially supported by Microsoft!
Thank you
The settings for saving passwords is at the bottom of the “Privacy” panel of the preferences in GNOME Web. Is passwords saving turned off? Do you mean someting different?
Thank you so much for your answer!!
I already set it on. What I’d like to have is autofill fields (name, surname, id (mainly!! So I don’t have to type, anytime, my email),…) that’s different from save passwords (useful anyway!!)
Please, do you know if there’s a way?
Thank you
My idea is one of those two (I’ve both on my iPhone and they’re very useful):
- typing some specified sequence of letters previously set on keyboard settings, keyboard automatically print it. Eg: if I digit EMA on my keyboard, it prints myemail@provider.com
- memorize my personal data in keyring (or similar) so, every time I’ve to insert it on a new website, I can just tell to my keyring to autofill those fields (eg: name, surname,…)
Hope I’m clear now!
Thank you
Yes. The form filler functionality is expected in the next major release of GNOME Web, which is 47. It has been recently completed in version 47.beta
per the changelog. There is some information about it in the merge request by Jan-Michael Brummer, which is based on the work by Abdullah Alansari on issue #193. I would wait for the release, but it is also possible to install the development version from GNOME nightly flatpaks, which is intended for testing new features and reporting issues.
It’s Google, but they don’t dictate how Firefox development goes. See also:
