I think this is a fair comment but Chrome has been doing this a lot lately. They'll make a change and developers must scramble to fix their websites.

It's the same with autocomplete earlier this year. One day Google decides to ignore autocomplete="off" and all hell breaks lose.

Interesting to note, they have reverted this change. Google now respects autocomplete="off" in some scenarios (i.e. when autofill is not triggered via name attribute).

Note: autocomplete !== autofill
