Switch to Edge for now

Version 14.5.6 for Chrome is taking longer than usual to be published by the Chrome team. If you are encountering any of the issues below, please use Edge v14.7.0 for the time being. We’ll notify everyone here when v14.5.6 is released for Chrome (we can’t submit v14.7.0 until v14.5.6 is released).

Known issues in v14.5.4

  • Some sites are logging users out. This is caused by migration code in v14 that deletes unused data stored in localStorage. Apparently when you delete anything from localStorage, even if it’s your own data, many sites see this as tampering and log you out as a security precaution.
  • Manual mode is broken. Even when you are in manual mode, all profiles execute.
  • Incrementing/Decrementing variables are not working as expected. For example, the variable {100++} would output 102 instead of 101.

How to switch to Edge

Switching to Edge temporarily (or permanently, considering the increased time for Chrome to release new updates) is a simple process:

  1. Open the Lightning Autofill Options page in Chrome and go to the Sync tab (chrome-extension://nlmmgnhgdeffjkdckmikfpnddkbbfkkk/options.html#sync).
  2. Export your data to a CSV file.
  3. Open the Lightning Autofill Options page in Edge and go to the Sync tab (extension://lkfeipbjpgibcbhhciamknhfdpjemfke/options.html#sync).
  4. Import your data from the file you created in step 2.

TIP: To make sharing data across browsers even simpler, you can do what we do — keep the CSV file on a server (example), and import this file by entering its URL into the Remote Import field.
