Unless I really, really, really want to use a service, I only use it if I can login with gmail or facebook.

I don't have time for your shit registration form or strange password requirements. I'm always logged into gmail and facebook, so those are always one-click accounts for me.

I understand wanting to become the identity provider, but the ship has sailed here.

Do you do your web browsing always logged into gmail and facebook? No criticism intended.

I use Chrome for accessing gmail, facebook, twitter, and linkedin - always logged in. For everything else I use Firefox with strong privacy settings. No overhead for me to do this, and this seems like a reasonable middle-road for privacy.

Yup, I do. I maintain pretty strict control of my physical security of the laptop. If anyone gets access to my physical goods, I have much bigger problems.
