Onshape triggering autofill in Safari

I'm not sure if this is a new problem since I was mainly using (Mac) Chrome for Onshape until recently, but in Safari I'm seeing far too many situations where autofill is being triggered with names of people in my contacts (e.g. as I name parts) or credit card numbers (as I change the value of a dimension). It's really distracting and not appropriate. Is this an Onshape problem or a Safari problem?

I use Firefox for dayjob, and Safari for personal, simple projects. I've yet to come across any autofill issues in Safari, and I've been using it for about 1 year.
Note: Safari is my main browser outside of Onshape (for 20 years), and I do use the autofill function of it frequently.
I haven't had this issue in Firefox or Chrome-based browsers. I'd say it's Safari being overzealous with its autofill.
A CAD program in a browser is quite a novel use case and probably not something the Safari programmers even considered.
Onshape could patch in workarounds to 'support' Safari's weirdness (like the days of IE) but their time is probably better spent developing other features and just advising users to use a different browser.
And perhaps a message to Apple about it, if they'll listen.
I'm actually surprised you can even use Safari. I tried it a few times about 2 years ago on my dayjob real-world assemblies, and it would completely choke. The same computer and asm on Firefox, Chrome, and Edge was fine. IDK if its better now, I'm afraid to even try it.
For small personal projects for me its fine.
