I lke webid-tls because

  • Public keys are sooo much better than passwords

  • I want to have 1 or more public ID consistently in a bunch of stuff I do, not a different ID in each silo.

  • I feel it is simpler/quicker/more secure to authenticate directly from client to server in general than get redirected to other third parties.

It is true that the browsers have not liked client side certs — partly because it breaks their “same origin policy” which insists that developers from different domains don’t get share data.
