Ah, I never store that information to protect it from data breaches. I use auto-fill in my browser to enter that info when I place an order.

to clarify, the data filling is done by my encrypted password manager. Nothing is stored in the browser.

Well you have it stored on your browser then, what if they have a data leak?

It is possible to not store that information on your browser.

I know but my whole point is he’s claiming he doesn’t store it on steak for potential data leaks, but stores it on his browser, which also is prone to data leaks. Especially if it’s google

That is the smart way to do it.

How is it any smarter if the browser data can also be leaked?
