They can afford to do this due to their market share.

This is precisely why I refuse to use Chrome.

I use Firefox and would do so even if it were an inferior browser, plus at this point in time and for my usage patterns Firefox really is superior.

Firefox (and IE) did the same thing for autocomplete=off, with the same rationale.

To be clear, it appears that Chrome disables autocomplete=off for all fields and forms, not just for password fields. The linked ticket is about password fields in Firefox specifically.

You're refusing to use Chrome because it gives the middle finger to websites that want to disable your password manager? Are you making this decision as a user or a website owner?

Chrome disables it for all fields. That's the difference
