I stopped using browser based password managers and switched to KeePass. It's a bit more work to pull passwords and back them up, but for me it beats trusting cloud services with security critical data.

I stopped as well, but went for a different setup: Tomb [1] and Pass [2]. There's even a combination of the two: pass-tomb [3], but I don't use it.

No cloud, only USB keys. The thing is, I lost two of these USB keys! Had to rotate my passwords ;)

This! I love my setup. I use KeePassXC and sync my password db with NextCloud. I love having an open source password manager that is useful across all of my devices, be it Android, Linux, Mac or Windows.
KeepassXC, syncthing, and keepass2android here.
Sure but good luck using KeePass across a team on multiple devices.
