Better yet keep it all offline
Nah, the UX of a browser extension is really nice, especially since it seamlessly syncs between my phone, work computer, personal laptop, and personal desktop.
That said, I would never put cryptocurrency keys in the cloud, that stays offline. But bank accounts have insurance and most other important services have MFA, so just moving my passwords to a self-hosted server is good enough for me.
I'm not too sure that the relative additional security, considering most people's threat models, really justifies this much inconvenience. YMMV I guess.
