Well, you can use Google Chrome on iOS, although you'll get worse performance since Apple doesn't allow third party browsers to take advantage of Javascript optimizations.

So, I'd say the point stands! You'd potentially be using a worse web browser in exchange for access to your passwords!

This hasn't been true since iOS 8 with WKWebView[0].

What's the real deal breaker for me is that I can't use iOS adblocking with 3-rdparty browsers.
