You sound like an angry OS X / iOS developer trying to make a name for himself. This is old news, and I find it odd how you've decided to focus all of the attention on Chrome even though other browsers operate in a similar way. And frankly, if you’re dumb enough to let someone use your computer, after you've knowingly saved your passwords on it, you deserved to get hacked. Operating system profiles should be common knowledge by now.

Ha... The people complaining really are novices, looking for something to get outraged over. Every operating system allows multiple user accounts. I recommend people start learning how to use them.

I'm not a novice, but I would prefer that it wasn't trivial for a novice to access my passwords if I'm away from the keyboard for 30 seconds. A novice is going to have not a single clue of what to do with a console, but they can get at passwords in plaintext with four clicks with Chrome. No other browser makes it this easy to get at passwords in plaintext.

In Firefox you can go to preferences, security, and saved passwords. And News Flash: If you leave your wallet unattended for 30 seconds, someone could take your money. I guess wallet makers should include a warning too?

Incorrect if you set a master password, which Firefox allows you to do and is the reason why everyone's saying 'wtf, chrome?' and leaving firefox alone.

IF you set a master password... But how many people do that? By the way, you can set up user profiles in Chrome.

That's not the point. The point is that Chrome lacks this option, which, again, is why nobody's heckling Firefox right now. This isn't a thread about people failing to configure their software, it's a thread about a popular piece of software that's bungling some trivial security features.

How many? ALL the smart people.

As for the dumb ones, they're storing their passwords on a sticky-post. Or using Chrome.

Too bad every other browser works the same way...

They don't.

Yeah they do. In Firefox go to preferences, security, and saved passwords. I don't know about Safari or Internet Explorer because they're shit and I don't use them.

Well, Firefox does also offer a "Master Password" if you haven't notice.

Stupid mother fuckers who don't understand animals... You don't reach for a dog's face or leash while he's trying to defend his owner. The dog wouldn't have lunged if he wasn't provoked.
