I like the article! A few thoughts:

1) In "Masking Origin" perhaps some talk of traffic analysis and why
proxy services which do not run on your machine would be ineffective
(i.e., anonymizer.com doesn't do the job, really).

2) In "Securing Content", perhaps a one to two sentence view on MITM and
why TLS has to go with not ignoring certificate errors! ;)

I found it to be a very nice read without those two things, but figured
they would add a little breadth without too much complexity. A very
nice read, thanks!
