Google is significantly upgrading Chrome's autofill functionality, integrating more personal information directly into the browser's suggestions.

The expanded autofill aims to offer a more seamless and personalized browsing experience. While the article notes a request for comment from Google was not immediately answered, the rollout signifies a push towards deeper integration of Google services within the Chrome ecosystem. This move is expected to increase convenience for millions of users worldwide.
