If you think late rendering or "display:none" will put Chrome off, think again! The anvil.works IDE is Angular, so it's all rendered post-loading, and Chrome still autofills the weirdest things. Relentlessly.
Search boxes? Sure! App titles? Yeah, one week a bunch of our users' apps got renamed to the author's email address.
Being an IDE, of course, there are lots of places where inserting random text will break things. When I open up the console and see it filled with "'meredydd@anvil.works' is not a valid Python identifier"? That's the signal to go hunting for which dynamically-generated off-screen text box Chrome is stuffing credentials into this week.
TL;DR Chrome's autofill is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It does not feel pity or remorse. And it will not stop.
