Mac text expansion/replacement doesn't work in chrome.

Reported by johan.ko...@gmail.com, Sep 17 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.92 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. on an apple device, create a text replacement e.g :) becomes 😊
2. In a form field type the expansion keyword e.g :)

What is the expected behavior?
😊 should replace :) 

What went wrong?
In all apps (iOS and MacOS) these text expansions work except in Chrome. I just decided to switch to Chrome, now that it is not ugly anymore, but as long as this doesn't work, I'l keep Safari as my default browser. I use them all the time, for my email, phrases, emojis etc 
Sorry, hope you fix it.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.92  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.13.6

[Mac triage] Thanks for the report. This is one of our most requested fixes, and we're planning to implement it.

That sounds wonderful. I’ll be waiting eagerly.

By the way, to add fuel to this, It doesn't just impact all users of the chrome browsers but also all users of the ever so popular native application wrapper for Mac apps; Electron. So far I have noticed this in GitKraken, InVision Studio, Postman, Discord, Github desktop and Local By Flywheel except for Slack and Typora where they actually work and there is a fix for Electron apps (https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-text-substitutions) So I guess it shouldn't be impossible to fix this in chrome as well?  I believe the native property is automaticTextReplacementEnabled on the NSTextView class.
