Isn't that how things should work? If other teams within Google had a special way to override autocomplete wouldn't that be worse?

- andrewstuart 7y agoMy point is that this decision from the Chrome team even breaks Google's own software. This emphasises the craziness of the unilateral decision by the Chrome team which is essentially saying: "we, the Chrome team are correct and everyone else can go jump in the lake". I'm not suggesting that Google should have secret special ways to do things.
- atomicfiredoll 7y agoAngular Material's Autocomplete component is an example of this. Our users would have found that really helpful... if Chrome's autofill behavior didn't break it.
