Description

Enabling Google Chrome's AutoFill feature allows users to auto complete address information in web forms using previously stored information. If this setting is disabled, Autofill will never suggest or fill address information, nor will it save additional address information that the user might submit while browsing the web. If this setting is enabled or has no value, the user will be able to control Autofill for addresses in the UI.
