From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You're not, it's just that sometimes you paste your passwords outside browser, and opening a browser for that is doable, but feels wrong :D
Also, the app has a more convenient layout as it can afford more screen space.
Do you not have the browser open all the time? Not necessarily in the foreground, but at least in the background I always have a browser window. But tbh, most of the time it's in the foreground on the second monitor
I, in fact, do not :)
I envy your life, as it feels like every year the browser assimilates and consumes more and more.
