State Partitioning
I commend Firefox for trying to do this... but it worries me.3 obvious holes:- Proliferation of dialogs. When you don't know whether a site will suddenly break or not, standard users will be implicitly trained to say yes to all dialogs.- Domain "homogenizing" (spoofing) services will win. Trackers that offer a widget you can install on your server will win. Facebook et all will still know where they sent you, and will be able to track you server side. If mozilla provide a centralized whitelist, then SSO providers who also provide trackers will win. Essentially, the big players will find a way, the little players (who users weren't worried about anyway) will still lose.- The web will break. SSO will be broken for a good couple of months on over 50% of websites using it - possibly more. "This only works in Google Chrome" will become more and more popular. Potentially, Firefox doesn't have the market share to make this work.Those of us who will stick with Firefox regardless are in for a world of pain, and not a lot of gain. I guess it's necessary to move the web on, but the pessimist in me doesn't see that happening any time soon.
