Moving from 1Password to Bitwarden was the best thing I did.

Bitwarden enabled me to use it with Linux, Mac, Windows, Web, etc. _years_ before 1Password decided to join the party.

And there's no subscription to speak of - just a premium "extra features you may or may not want" yearly payment, which works out _much_ cheaper.

Finally - all my passwords belong to me. Self hosted server means that I keep control, not some random cloud.

Since Bitwarden is end-to-end encrypted, the risk isn't who hosts the data but who controls chrome extension and App Store updates. Bitwarden's servers being compromised would cause you no harm except data loss, but a malicious client update could steal all of your passwords.
That is why you should never ever auto-update your add-ons.
