By default, the Google Chrome browser will save certain information that you enter into website forms such as your name and address. This Form Autofill feature makes things easier the next time you are prompted to enter the same info in that form or in similar forms on other sites. Although it offers an element of convenience, there is also an obvious privacy issue here. If other people use your browser and you do not feel comfortable having your form information stored, the Form Autofill feature can be disabled in just a few easy steps. This tutorial shows you how it's done.

First, open your Google Chrome browser.
