Chrome chromium and any chromium based browser has the passwords as plaintext in dumps problem… sadly all talking just about edge or the AI model.
Scared about privacy but not about plaintext passwords 🤣

Here is a video about Chrome, Chromium, and Brave.
I really should test this across multiple user accounts, since I’ve read that this can also expose data from other user accounts.
In any case, for the demonstration, I used a string to perform a targeted search.
After the browser was closed, the cache should have been cleared, but that didn’t happen.
(Windows users can ask ChatGPT:
“How can I create a memory dump from my browser in Windows and search it for strings?” it should be easy too without thirdparty tools )
(On Linux, simply run
sudo gcore $(pidof BROWSERNAME)
strings core.* | grep STRING
Replace BROWSERNAME and STRING)
PS: Please excuse my typos in the video—it’s still early in the morning. 🤣

Do you have any better reference than another comment of yours that got zero visibility?
Screenshots would go a long way.

If you downvote something, you can explain why.
Not today. But I could take some screenshots and record a video tomorrow.
