More than two thirds of my typing are done within the browser, so it's really annoying I have no text prediction at all there.
That is a _good_ question!

In a browser, there are two kinds of text entry fields; one is a part of the browser program (such as the field where you type web adresses like google.com), the other is part of the web page, inside where you see all that text of the webpage.

Since webpages can control how those text-entry fields behave, it may be too difficult or expensive to find a way to add autocompletion.

i would far prefer some way to disable javascript that scans what i am typing. I see 3-15 second delays typing into google and other sites.
