I think the easiest way to look at this is as you said, another option for users. Some enterprises don't allow their users to install applications, but do allow extensions, so this opens up that possibility. It also brought 1Password support to two new platforms: Linux and Chrome OS. As for this being the future. Imagine a world where from a design perspective this sets the tone. Thus, the beginning of the future. It's a first version that has to compare itself against versions that have existed for years. Of course it can't fully replace what we have. It may for some though, I won't discount that at all. For starters, there's no way to do Touch ID in the browser. There's no support for local vaults. There's only Chrome support, nothing for Safari or Firefox. There's a lot missing here. But in terms of the future, this sets the visual design up for how you'll start seeing future updates on the other side of the extension fence. So, lets go with "this isn't for you" :) In fact, I doubt in a lot of ways that this is for people on Hacker News. A smaller number will probably find it useful though. Kyle AgileBits
