I avoid google as much as possible but I let Chrome store any passwords I want stored. I consider it the most secure browser. I mostly use Firefox.

The second article suggests setting the following registry value to 0:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager\SilentInstalledAppsEnabled
