Confirm Form Resubmission[edit]

Whenever I make an edit but my browser crashes, it needs me to manually confirm that I want to restore the content of the edit. Now, why does this message exist, and how can I get rid of it? JJP...MASTER![talk to] JJP... master? 16:05, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See POST and GET. In particular RFC 7231. Elephas X. Maximus (talk) 00:51, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I know that Chrome has an option to disable "confirm form resubmission." The setting changes based on operating system and Chrome version, but it is easy to find the different methods with a web search. 97.82.165.112 (talk) 11:16, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
