Web browsers are growing to be smarter. With each release, the developers are adding new features to the modern web browsers to help users in getting their work done faster and in an easier manner on the Internet. One such feature was the Credit Card info and Addresses storage given to web browsers. Under this, the browser will detect if the text field you selected is asking to enter your credit card or debit card’s details and will automatically provide you with an autocomplete drop-down to automatically fill your details. Same goes for the addresses. The new Microsoft Edge Chromium browser carries this feature too.
