autocapitalizing on MacBook Air not working sometimes

most apple apps that have text formatting honor auto-capitalization except web browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc), Affinity Apps and perhaps others I haven't run into yet This appears to be only on this new MacBook Air M3 OS 15.3.1. Keyboard setting has Autocapitalization enabled. no settings I can find change this behavior. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue? interestingly auto caps works for proper names mostly but not sentence case.

New MacBook keeps auto-capitalizing when I keep telling it not to. I always, always, always use lowercase letters when texting, and I always set all my apple devices to NOT auto-capitalize. never had a problem with it before. I just got this brand new 2024 MacBook, and have told it repeatedly to NOT auto-capitalize my sentences... both in the settings, and directly from messages by right-clicking... and it keeps on capitalizing. (I know, I know, "why don't you just use capital letters??" ...because it's part of my personality, okay?!) ANYWAYS having an expensive new MacBook and having to go back and UN-capitalize stuff whenever I type anything is so annoying. and yes, I've restarted the computer several times, and checked and un-checked and re-checked the setting several times. it has never worked correctly. help!! thanks!!

Mac/ Chrome Autocapitalizing Words with 'I' despite Settings Disabled – Seeking Assistance. When I type in Chrome, it automatically capitalizes every word starting with an "I." I've disabled autocapitalization in both Chrome and my Mac settings, but the issue persists. Occasionally, I receive a pop-up in the corner of my Mac asking if I want to capitalize (I'll attach a photo). For each word that begins with an "I," I either have to click "esc" after typing the "I" or go back and change the letter to lowercase once the word is completed. This issue is frustrating, and I've searched extensively for a solution. I also prefer Safari, but I must use Chrome for a few applications that aren't compatible with Safari. Please help; I've been looking everywhere and can't find a solution.
