What a shameful attempt at surfing the dotcom marketing campaign. Virtually nobody cares who was first, what matters is respect of privacy and secure encryption.

I think the worst part is they're claiming they're the "first" when really they're not (not even for browser-based systems).

There have been many encrypted cloud storage systems which worked according to this philosophy. Allmydata.com (now defunct) and Tahoe-LAFS come to mind:

Did you literally create an account just to say that?
