The fact that it is a "Foundation" does not make it trustworthy per se ;)
Even so since the traffic generated by a TDF/LO OpenID is collected by the
foundation's servers, the data is available to all, right?

That is exactly the point :) Why should other companies which I don't have
any relation with know WHERE and WHEN I logged in?

That would be better than putting my trust in Google (a company that
"accidentally" collects unencrypted wifi data...) but still the login data
is shared with the other consortium members...

I guess that if I stopped trusting Mozilla I would have to switch browser.
ALL of my online information is typed on a browser programmed by Mozilla.
Compared to that, only a small portion of the information is in the hands of
Google (and that is why I deliberately don't use Chrome)

Regardless of who is involved, it appears to me that the BrowserID model
preserves more your online privacy than the OpenID model...

Cheers,
Pedro
