I get that nowadays the alternative to password managers is browsers. But they were mostly developed when the real alternative was trying to remember all those passwords, or duplicate them, or write them down somewhere. I used to have random passwords scattered over multiple browsers, because I change browsers. Then I got a password manager, and imported all my chrome passwords... and there were hundreds of them. All the old ones, all the weird little ones that I never cared about. It took me ages to clean this data set and delete all the crap. So no... never going back to storing passwords in the browser, thanks. I realise that technically a malicious site could possibly mess with my password manager. But I'm more worried about what the browser is doing.
