If you run Chrome on OS X and have the keychain set to prompt you on every access you'll notice that Chrome does something really shocking.
It reads and decrypts every password you have on startup.
Safari and Firefox don't try to get the password until there's a form to put it in, but that's not good enough for Chrome.
I only use Chrome for testing apps, never for real use.
