Counter argument: Chrome doesn't ask you, and they don't provide any way for you to respect the standard behaviour.

If it breaks websites you use then your only option is to completely disable autocomplete.

I find that there's far more times I'd rather have autocomplete than have it actually disabled... I hate when sites force it disabled, when there's no real reason to, and as a user it's irritating.

The only time I find autofill annoying is sometimes (on my phone) lastpass will fly open at inopportune times, when entering something in a password field that's not really a password, etc.
