No, you should not use online wallet, it is not safe. I suggest that you should choose hardware wallet instead, it is much safer than any online wallet.

I personally do not recommend online wallets for bitcoin. If you cant buy a hardware wallet, you can go with a desktop wallet like Electrum. But if you only want an online wallet, the Blockcahin wallet is a good one for you.

None! Don't use online wallets they are not safe. Someone mentioned Electrum, this is a good option if you only want to use bitcoin, if you also plan to use ETH, erc20 tokens or other altcoins HODLER is a good multiwallet option because unlike other multi wallets it is fully open source.

As others have stated, be wary of online wallets.  I have a hard wallet and a mobile wallet.  Long term saving goes in the hard wallet.  Small amounts used for spending go in the mobile wallet.  You may do as you wish though.

I keep my private keys encrypted in txt file on thumb drive, but that is good only for cold storage.

Unfortunately I have bunch of altcoins too so I have most of my funds on exchanges so I don't have install bunch of wallets on my computer.

The only wallet I really can advice you use is the hardware wallet,and I stand to be corrected,but I think it's the safest..

It protects you and your coins from hacks as well as prying malwares that are used to infiltrate your system,cause a breakdown and provide the hacker with private information..

It thus protects you by storing all your informations offline..

I fully agree with OmegaStarScream.

Online wallets should always be avoided. Using a web wallet for your coins is way less secure than any other form of wallet (desktop-/mobile-).

Using online wallets creates a way bigger attack surface than standard wallets.
In fact a lot of attacks do only work for web wallets (especially things like DNS spoofing) which can not be avoided as a regular (not-that-techy) user.

Do yourself a favor and use a real (proper) wallet.

Forget about online wallets and exchanges, these are not safe to use and they are always targeted for hacks and there is also a possibility of having your account closed/banned. Go with a desktop wallet like Electrum where you have full control over your funds/private keys.
