Inherently less secure than an extension that fills the passwords, as it relies on you checking the URL correctly, while an extension will only fill it when the origin is correct, which means you are less likely to be phished (although a security key is even better for that).

Tons of people who are very aware and capable have been phished successfully. If you think it isn't likely, you are likely vulnerable. "Not very likely" is just obviously not true—phishing is a very common attack, and companies like Google have adopted security keys to protect against it.
