Android Central Question

My autofill has stopped working, when I go to a website text box and start to type email or passwords or card info.
I can see the information is saved and appears in drop down but cannot select anything.
 
I can confirm Chrome and other Chrome based browsers, e.g. Brave browser, don't play nice with Android 11, certainly on a Xiaomi Poco 3 NFC where it is MIUI 12.5.4.

Chrome
* Autofill broken
* Uninstalled update
* Autofill worked
* Reinstalled update
* Autofill broke again
* Uninstalled update and turned off auto update in Google Play
* Autofill now working

Brave
* Autofill broken
* Uninstalled Brave
* Found earlier stable version on apkmirror.com and side loaded.
* Turned off auto update in Google Play
* Autofill now working

Xiaomi aware via Twitter @XiaomiSupport and I am led to believe a security update will be issued at some time in the indeterminate future.
 
Well, Chrome and the Chrome derived browser Brave have been updated and it's good to report after a short while using Brave, that autofill now works.
Now, about all those mindless ads that get pushed by Xiaomi phones. When are they going to stop annoying people with them?
