Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.

Why doesn't everyone just use a better manager like Lastpass or Bitwarden, it's super easy to use.

I do use Bitwarden, and in my experience of >1 year, it's good enough. It sometimes doesn't save automatically and if you save (for example) a McDonalds login on PC, it won't offer to fill on their app. Also you cant save new passwords offline which is a pretty rare situation but it made me want to rip my hair out (granted I didn't have enough food that day so I was angry to begin with).
Minor gripes for sure, but Google doesn't have the same annoyances. Not worth going back to Google though.

I guess I've always just made the new passwords in Bitwarden and have it fill in the form rather than fill in the form and let Bitwarden save it. Do you not use generated passwords? Can't help you on the offline thing, I see how that would be annoying.
