I'm suspicious that this is any better than TLS and client certificates. Plus, it's not entirely clear what's supposed to happen when your family and friends are using your computer, or when your laptop is simply stolen.

Surely you passphrase protect your id_rsa!

  Back to entering passwords (or passphrases for that matter)... Yay!

    That's a retarded retort. In the SSH case you have ONE password to remember. Not one per website. Furthermore, the password never leaves your machine. Log in to a hundred websites with SSL and a password and the NSA comes along, collects all your passwords server side, knows which ones you reuse, knows your password generation patterns, everything. You are completely nuts if you think these two things are the same.
