I did for a while, Chrome is a resource hog compared to Edge. iirc I stopped using it because of issues with passwords not auto filling consistently (it sounds like a small deal but it gets old having to open a password manager 10 times a day with a 20 something character password)

How about leaving it open, (auto) locking the screen every time you leave the pc? It should be as safe, if you trust the screen locker.

The main problem was the auto locking, I set my PC to go to sleep after 10 minutes (it's a really power hungry setup)

I'm not familiar with Windows nowadays. If it wakes up locked and asking for a password you are fine. That's the setup of my Ubuntu laptop.

Lock the PC, leave it on a desk, it goes to sleep. You come back, wake it up, type in the password to unlock. The weakest link is remembering to lock the pc. Auto lock after some minutes is ok only at home.

The password manager locks when the computer goes to sleep, I'm not sure that it's optional behavior (and if it was I'm not sure I'd want to disable it)
