And not following the spec recommendation has gotten us... Here. Where Google is protecting users from both bad actors and good actors, whether the user likes it or not! The overwhelming response to this issue makes it clear that the heuristics used are simply not good ENOUGH. They can't accurately predict the best user outcome in a majority of situations. The Chrome team has wrenched the onus of autofill responsibility from all other developers, then fumbled it, badly. A good fix for this is to give the onus to the user. Popup toggle buttons, labeled: Autofill: Yes, No, Auto. This means we can all stop hating Chrome team for being patronizing, stop hating web devs for being unable to make their beautiful apps work in our godawful browsers, and start hating ourselves instead!
