Chargeback.
Is that allowed given that you appear to have authorized it and they have proof (it's obviously not fraud or something like that)?

Google rejecting Microsoft changes has not yet been observed, it could happen. Most people think that Google agenda could conflict with Microsoft agendas. I have read a LOT of chromium issues. I can tell you that the higher management at Google does not dictate chromium changes as they are too technical for them. The truth is, except for maybe a few exceptions, chromium evolve through the decisions of engineers that…

Chrome is the redundant browser. Firefox was here first. Well Chrome is based on khtml which is not that new but yeah Netscape navigator precede it. Indeed it would have been better if chrome was based on gecko (FF) at the time. But now Firefox can be thought of the redundant browser because of both marketshare and being technically an inferior product on most metrics.
If mozilla worked on improving chromium, think of the massive progress it would bring to the World! Website would have no limits on what is possible to create. Everything would be fast, etc.

There are no semantics to discuss. Chrome is spec compliant. That's a fact. Words like "should" and "must" have well defined meaning that is clarified in every spec document, which I would highly advise you to read before writing any further comments and insults.
SHOULD does not equal MAY

When a phrase is used the “wrong” way more often than the right way, it ceases to be wrong.
As a user, Chrome's autocomplete went down the drain for me once they started to fill all fields at once. I tried to autocomplete one field and often chrome filled the other fields with unfitting data. This happened so often that I started to manually complete fields even if autocomplete was available. I still miss the good old times[tm] of single-field autocomplete... (And for the record: As a developer, I have been…
They really, really need to stop trying to autocomplete entire forms, and probably not anything other than "user/password" forms. The whole 'look at this input id and match it to a bunch of categories' approach has been thoroughly debunked as useless.

Through the sheer force of repeated ignorance we change the language?

It causes spec-compliant password managers to not work. Unfortunately, disabling autocomplete for password fields is an often used form of security-theatre
Here's the tricky thing and I don't have a solution that doesn't get abused. I hate that lots of bank do this but I also have a use case for password autocomplete=off. We operate in an industry where shared computer access is very common and the risk of users saving password in browser is real and too high. As I said don't know what the answer is. I definitely want someone using password manager be able to use them.…

What about "I could care less"? Seems like that one is just always wrong.
Yeah. But people say it enough I've started mentally converting it to: "I _could_ care less (but I can't be bothered)."
