The Chrome dev team have implemented autocomplete the way they think it should work, not the way web developers want.
You cannot switch off Chrome's handling of autocomplete, thus any other autocomplete implementation will be overwritten by Chrome's handling.
Chrome team feel they know best.
- oscargrouch 7y agoWhen i see something like this, i also remember that Google is basically a private "spy" company, that benefits the most by having all the data they can of each one of us. So my feeling is theres must be a lot of pressure inside Google management to not let such a feature be turned of, giving this get sent to the 'mothership' as you type, with the lag you take, fingerprinting etc.. Its a big problem that a company that does what Google do, owns the most popular browser client and the most popular mobile OS where they can serve the interests of the mother company against our own self interest where we want our privacy and major political and civil freedoms respected in the process.
