Ask HN: What would you want in an ideal web browse...
I use firefox, but if I remember correctly the passwords are stored in plain text? And there is no global password to protect the saved password.

How exactly is any browser supposed to autofill passwords without storing them in plaintext? If you want them encrypted, you need to put in a password on every startup, which can be easily done by using truecrypt containers or fde.

Firefox supports said password-protection out-of-the-box, IIRC.

Chrome has a master password that protects your passwords and saved forms, if you set one.
