Ubuntu ships a Chromium browser that has its abilitiy to store passwords safely sandboxed/containerized away.

I did not expect that, given that Ubuntu comes with a full GUI and thus safe password storage backend available in theory.

Because this issue is open since 2022, I wrote a repro that proves its existence:
