Disable the AutoComplete feature on Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome

AutoComplete is a feature that enables the browser to remember what you enter in a webpage or the browser's address bar. As you’re typing an address, AutoComplete will suggest possible matches. It’s like your best friend who finishes your sentences! This is convenient when you visit certain websites frequently, but also poses a security risk if you’re using a shared computer.
