I'm not inclined to run anything that's remotely related to password security in a browser extension (I do use the Firefox built-in password manager to simplify logging in to sites like this one, where I have no money at stake and nothing much to lose but my pride).

For high-value logins, I use Passwordsafe. It's annoying; the scroll behaviour is annoying, and it's Windows-only, which is sad. But it's resolutely local and un-networked, and I'm confident that my secrets are well-protected by my (complex, long, memorized) master password.

Assuming you're talking about pwsafe 3, it's not Windows-only. I am actively using a Java implementation on MacOS and rely on my Android app for frequent use. Password file is synced across devices via a cloud drive provider. Works great, and I'm in control. (I also rotate my password file + master password every few months.)
