It’s not an extension, and it doesn’t happen on my Windows 10 box (chrome dev 75.0.3759.4). I guess we can close this since it’s not a problem with this repo.

It would be interesting if somebody else is experiencing the same problem. You seem to be the first one having this problem, so it might be related to your setup. Maybe it’s a browser extension, or an operating system thing. The autocomplete attribute has been sitting there for the last two years, so it is really improbable that it’s related to the actual HTML.
