"They have proposed ways of storing cards and address data in the browser..."

Oh hell no! Just what we need, yet another reason for people to attack your browser. Don't we already suggest to never use the "remember your password" button? Now, it's "remember your credit card." No. Please, just no.

Chrome already has an option to remember your credit card. I love it. It means I can be in line for a show, see that the venue has another one coming up, pull up the purchase page on my phone, and have tickets in second. Or my partner can buy tickets to the theater on the way to the theater, seamlessly. Etc. TLDR It's super convenient, and if my credit card details get stolen or whatever, that's Chase's problem, not mine.

The "remember your password" functionality is awful if your threat model is "I don't want my passwords to be stolen", but it's terrific if your threat model includes "I don't want to be phished".
