I'm hesitant about features that interfere with how browsers work. Modern browsers are good at restoring forms when you go back, reopen tabs etc.

If I recall correctly, I tested this before and after, and before the change I don't think there was any notification. Either I didn't remember correctly or something prevented the browser from notifying.
