After investigation, I have to retract my complaint. The browser-side agent is paired with your phone, Apple style. It's not a Google-style arrangement where you pair with Google and Google pairs with you, ie Google is in the middle. So as long as the source code for both parts (browser-side and phone-side) is there, and you can audit that the code viewable is the code installed, this is pretty solid. Of course the reliability and availability issue is still there.
