Saving passwords in the browser vs chance of keyloggers listening for keystrokes

Opinions:  Better to allow passwords to be stored in the browser or not allow but risk a keylogger capturing input data in the future by not storing passwords?

This came up because I suggested not to let the browser store passwords.   I typically don't and am a glutton for punishment, plus on some sites I used obscure passwords that I have to look up.   But somebody mentioned they were hacked because of a keylogger they didn't know about and felt it was more secure to not have to type in a password all the time.  

I thought that was a valid point.  

The use would not be of your experience.
