That's cool, but it's still the same party providing both the storage mechanism, and the JS that encrypts the content on the client-side. You have to trust them that they are not "peeking" at the keys you are generating using their code in your browser.

But at least you only need to trust them now, and not every incarnation of them in the future =)

Not to mention that onr could always encrypt it themselves then use ff send

This is where WebCrypto in browser extensions begins to get interesting, I think.
