Feature Request: native text recovery for forms/text boxes (Lazarus, Typio, Textarea Cache)

I also want to bump this idea, as I have been badly stung by cleared out text boxes many times! Just to give examples after downloading Edge Insider channels, I've nearly lost multiple Amazon reviews (actually had to fully retype one of them) and this Forum nearly always "finds unacceptable HTML" in my posts for some reason. Even with the draft saving here, I've lost chunks of paragraphs that were somehow improperly formatted. I want to thank the author of the original post for recommending Typio; it might well become one of my favorite extensions. However, I think that a built in textbox history as robust as Google Docs would be extremely beneficial to everyone. Here's my reasons for why, mixed with how I think it should work:

• The desire to get text back isn't tied to stability. Sometimes, you accidentally reload a tab and everything poofs away. Other times, You hit ctrl+a instead of shift+a and overwrite your entire text box. This isn't just about "losing" text, either. Imagine submitting a ticket or important piece of data, then realizing you would have wanted a save a copy of what you wrote locally. History is the way to go with this.
• The undo function isn't perfect; a Google Docs - style history would be better. Try this at home: Type something, hit undo, then type something else. Do you want to get back what you had originally written? Too bad, you overwrote your undo timeline. Google Docs works wonderfully because it prioritizes saving what was written just before "big" edits, like erasing half the page, and it keeps a more granular history of what was written more recently. Docs does this to save storage space, but Edge could do this to keep the list of options more manageable.
• This is something everyone would find useful. Writing in text boxes on the web is paranoia inducing because of all the things that can go wrong. Extensions are a great way to fix the issue, but many people will not think to find one. Additionally, extensions are less trusted, and often less stable, than features built into the browser.
• It should be easy to pause this feature temporarily or permanently, and easy to delete chunks of history. Turning the function on or off should not be tied to incognito mode, but should be found in the right click menu of any text box.

OK at this point I'm just rambling. Hopefully I have made it clear that I'd really love to see this added, even if it can't be any time soon.
