From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could store it via KeePass and ~/.ssh can only read out by your Browser if you are using the same user account to run both, so I would recommend storing ssh-keys in the home directory of another user account. Another way would be to encrypt ~/.ssh if you store your keys there.
I was sort of cheeky with my ~/.ssh example, because I'm actually 100% on Yubikeys for my SSH private keys, so there's only public keys in that directory now
But, with my setup ( https://gitlab.com/jokeyrhyme/dotfiles/-/blob/main/packages/flatpak-update.sh#L66 ) I run
flatpak override --user --nofilesystem=home ...for a few things like flatpak web browsers (really, I should run this for everything)It's all about defense-in-depth: putting up as many barriers as I can before the getting inconvenienced more than I'd like, and flatpak is so easy for me to use that there isn't any inconvenience at all
