Chrome, IE11[1], and Firefox[2] all do this, and have for a while.

[1] IE11 does not support the attribute at all http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2014JanMa...

[2] Firefox ignores it too https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=956906

Both of those apply just to ignoring autocomplete settings for password management, not other input fields.

That's different from Chrome not giving effect to autocomplete=off for any fields.
