Description: 

With issue #749748 (see also change record), it was introduced that personal data is stored in the browser's localStorage for anonymous user forms. In other forms (comments, message, register), this data is automatically used for anonymous users.

This behavior has changed for data protection reasons and the data is no longer stored in the browser and used in core forms.

The behavior (triggered by the attribute data-user-info-from-browser in forms) still exists, but will not be filled or used by core and be deprecated later.

Impacts: 
Site builders, administrators, editors
