So right now, the only way of preventing the browser from saving cc info
is to disable the form history feature entirely. That's unacceptable
(because most users won't do it) and inconvenient (because those who are
smart enough to do it lose the functionality). A bad workaround with the
feature enabled is to try to remember, each and every time I submit cc
info, to clear the form history the moment the card is accepted.
A better workaround is offered by the previously mentioned "Form
History Control" add-on. This add-on offers the ability to add cleanup-
criteria using regular expressions, thus the actual credit card number
is not needed in the cleanup configuration. The regular expression for
detecting cc-numbers is predefined and can be chosen from a list.
Furthermore the actual cleanup can automatically be performed at
browser shut-down and/or when the browser-tab is closed.
And cc-numbers imho are just the tip of the iceberg. What about the
information you type in when doing online private banking? You can not
expect the browser to recognize this highly sensitive data as well.
You can also us the mentioned add-on to cleanup this information too
but leave the data you wish to keep.
Thank you, this sounds like something worth looking into.
Another alternative is to use the "Private Browsing mode" whenever you
do not want any data stored on your computer. In private browsing mode
nothing will be stored at all.
Is Private Browsing mode a feature of SM itself, or of your add-on?
