I an otherwise thoughtful piece, I found this sentence to be a bit of a reach. By just about every metric - traffic, pvs, pvs per user, time on site, etc. Netflix is clearly the winner over Hulu. How, exactly, did Hulu "upset" Netflix? “Hulu upset Netflix by dropping required login.”

Even if you did what looks like a simple login to a browser/client that did single-sign on for everything (e.g. the old AOL client, MSN Explorer, RockMelt?), it's the session states and multiple user/switching accounts that makes things crazy. So even in what might seem like a perfect world, it's a cluster. How iTunes does login (display of user state), Thunderbird (login to multiple accounts) are interesting implementations, and also how the iOS and Android apps keep users logged-in is interesting too.

Aside from usability improvements, there's other fundamental features which come with it; pressing one browser button to log out everywhere, being able to customize the experience with addons and protection from spoofing. To expand upon the latter point, having browser specific chrome (like Firefox's arrow panels) being used to log in and out would make it nigh impossible to replicate that experience in order to gather credentials as is mused at in Crystal's article.

No, it's not cheezy at all; Mozilla in in an unparalleled position to create trustworthy, unbiased, privacy preserving features for the web. This isn't exclusive to Identity; projects such as Push Notifications and WebAPI are best left to Mozilla to keep them clear of Google, Microsoft and Apple's respective agendas. @Ian: In a nutshell, I have seen what Facebook has become and - as an outsider - I want no part in that behemoth. Your 2 points are both valid contributors to that view, but they don't encompass the entirety of my concerns. Overall, I'd feel much safer logging in with BrowserID so that I'm more in control and have many more options regarding who is involved in the transaction. @Crystal: Yes, I am incredibly keen on BrowserID and think it has quite the potential to spark a revolution in its field.
