As a user, Chrome's autocomplete went down the drain for me once they started to fill all fields at once. I tried to autocomplete one field and often chrome filled the other fields with unfitting data. This happened so often that I started to manually complete fields even if autocomplete was available. I still miss the good old times[tm] of single-field autocomplete... (And for the record: As a developer, I have been bitten by Chrome ignoring autocomplete="off" as well.)

Yup, I like how FF does it. I basically just do a repeated sequence of: TAB -> Arrow Down (select one of the previously filled values I've used) -> Enter When filling a form. Given that sometimes we order things on made up names, it's quite useful no to have that autofilled when we're not wanting to.

This is a bit of a missing perspective. I wouldn't even care about them not following autocomplete=off if the damn autocomplete was useful. Instead 90% of the time I'm fighting it. They really, really need to stop trying to autocomplete entire forms, and probably not anything other than "user/password" forms. The whole 'look at this input id and match it to a bunch of categories' approach has been thoroughly debunked as useless.
