Tom Swingle (ID: 000000ccdf68a6a8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/21/2021 It does work but lacks per-site configuration to turn it off on sites that are better off without it. Google search, in particular, is not good with this extension because the autocomplete entries block Google's search suggestions.

Nick Fotopoulos (ID: 00000051b41a4e79) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/19/2020 It changes the autocomplete form property to "on", but the site I was planning on using it for still wouldn't remember the form fields. *shrug*

Psylem (ID: 0000008c6192fcd8) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/26/2018 Just what I needed. Worked perfectly fine, changes every form autocomplete attribute to "yes". Sorry, I have to reduce my review from 5 to 2 stars because I found that the lack of any site list feature makes it impractical to keep this extension installed for general purpose Internet browsing. While it does improve some sites, it also screws up the user experience on other sites. I switched to "Autocomplete On!" because it includes this feature.
