I've rented 2 security boxes and I put 12 words from my seed phrase in each. I also use a 25th work phrase as a precaution.

Do not save passwords on your computer.

Until my colleague's computer was hacked, I kept all the passwords in the browser. Now I write everything down in a notebook.

I used to do like you, but once I lost my notebook. Luckily, I found it later, but I don't write down my passwords in paper anymore

Aren't you concerned that water and heat would damage it?

As for me, blockchain is the best way to secure your btc.

What if I can operate only on a public Wi-fi? Is it too unsafe?

In light of the recent hacking of Binance, thought this would be a useful guide to users for protecting their funds on exchanges. https://whotookmycrypto.com/cryptocurrency-exchange-safety-guide/

No online wallet, no funds on exchanges, only use decentralized exchanges like Shapeshift, no hardware wallet (you really don't know what's going on there).
Firewall outgoing connection monitoring.

why do you think hardware wallets are a problem?

I can recommend hardware wallets or "cold storage" ones. I think that's the best method to keep your bitcoins safe
