I've used chrome for years but it has recently become very glitchy and as a result have started using Safari. One feature on chrome that I find very useful is that it autofills emails and addresses etc when filling out forms which is very time saving. For example if I start to type my email it comes up with the rest of it for me which I can then select, it also then gives me the option to add the 'linked' address and phone number. It's a great time saver when ordering from a store etc

Using Safari it doesn't do this, and I've tried to figure out the autofill in the Safari settings but it doesn't appear to do anything. For example if I go t settings > autofill it then it brings up this pop up which appears to show that I have autofill for "other forms" checked. When I go into this it has a list of sites that I have visited, is it a case that Safari will only autofill those sites that I've already visited and so if for example I shop at a new store it won't automatically fill in the email address and delivery address etc? Is there a way to set Safari so that it does this in the future? I don't want to store passwords.

Any help would be appreciated.
