Storing credit card data in Autofill is actually recommended by Google and considered secure: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142893?hl=en You shouldn't call people dumb for following Google's instructions. I agree with you that storing CC details in a web browser is a bad idea, but we should take issue with Chrome here (and other browsers) not with regular "dumb" users.
