If you use #Edge — and you probably shouldn’t — don’t use its password management function.
My current recommendation is to use at least two browsers. One for things you log into (I use #Vivaldi for that purpose) and one set to wipe its history on exit (#Firefox or a fork) with an ad blocker (such as Ad Nauseum) configured.
Close the wiping browser between tasks. Let the wiping browser be your default.
The 2+ browser strategy won’t give you privacy but it will lessen the bullshit and slightly decrease your vulnerability to certain types of attacks.

@EveHasWords@toot.cat but Edge is the best browser Linux has. /s

@EveHasWords@toot.cat the dual browser is a good idea as well. I use a browser and a desktop password manager. Best part of Edge is they closed the report as will not fix as it's a design decision they've consciously made. 🤯
