What? Noo... When you consider the chrome password manager you must consider the chrome binary as a whole. Chrome has had significantly more security issues than 100% of password managers. Of course -- its a more complex set of code.

Its about surface area. A password manager that has no browser integration is by its nature less likely to be compromised, as there are far less vectors of exploitation.

Don't store your passwords in the browser. Use a proper password manager. How its gets from PM to B is up to your risk appetite.
