    Expert Answer
    It is safe to a degree but think about it in these terms. You're already signed in to your Google account. If you're signed in to your Google account in your browser and someone gains access to your computer, they can now potentially have access to all those passwords as well. So, it's only as safe as the Google account that is tied to.
