I seem that this article contains a lot of good points about Javascript cryptography. The error of the author is that he is unable to see a reason to build a secure application based on Javascript because his prejudices are too strong. I am the founder of Passpack. We use Javascript cryptography from 2006. We have 16,000 active users and nobody ever reported loss of data. I think that if you are conscious of all the issue connected with browsers and their problems, you can build a good system that is able to protect not only the security of the users but also their privacy. And the privacy can not be protected with a server-based cryptography system.
