Very interesting, certainly worth watching their video about it, but be
aware that it is 48 minutes long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Wl2FW2TcA

Has anyone else tried using this? I see that its from 2011, but it
doesn't seem to have gained much publicity.

I used it for a while, but disabled it when I was getting excessive memory use by Firefox, and I don't think I re-enabled it. I don't think it was Convergence's fault, though.

No, I was reading a related article on security.stackexchange.com - on
a government's MITM attack on SSL, pointing out the problems with
trusted root CAs. Convergence strikes me as a better security model,
although I didn't listen to the talk yet... (I knew it existed
though!)
