   A fact that should be obvious to all web developers, but would apparently be mindblowing to the Chrome developers who made this decision:
   Sometimes, a web form asks for a name, date of birth, etc. for a person, and it is expected that this person is not the user of the application.

     So, to recap: it is the opinion of Chrome's and Edge's developers that they can ignore autocomplete="off", and any workarounds you deploy today may not work in the future. In fact, the only reason they recognize that a website would want to disable autocomplete is... to provide its own autocomplete implementation.
