- No need to register your application with browserid.org

- No need to use an oauth library (just 1 GET request)

- Oauth provides access to user data on the provider, while browserID provides no data. Less anxiety for the users.

- No request_token/access_token pairs

- In the future, the user will (hopefully) be able to change his default browserid and as a developer you just don't care.
