I used KeePassX in the past but switched to 1Password since there was no browser support to speak of. Has that changed?

I still don't get it. Do they use all the same DRM? Soft DRM is IMHO a possible way to go: You get freely usable files but the files get tagged with your name. It's AFAIK the kind of DRM Apple uses for music files from the iTunes
