Remove Autofill from Google

Google's browser, Chrome, and Google toolbar save all forms you submit. This saves time when you reuse data, but you might not like the feature. You may have entered so many items that seeing them again just distracts you. You may prefer to forget some entries you've typed. You may share the computer with others and want to preserve your privacy.

Google Chrome and Google Toolbar let you disable AutoFill, stopping them from recording future data entry. To delete old data, delete them from your browser as well.
