Given the number of cloud services, until and unless there is a
standard interface (I like Tim BL's idea of user's having control of
who can access which bits of data, implemented in Solid Pods*),
I would prefer that Firefox does not attempt to support all of them natively.

Nor should it show favouritism, so it should support *none* of them natively
(OK I'll accept the Mozilla/Firefox one); addons/extensions *are* the way to go.

Solid is a specification that lets people store their
data securely in decentralized data stores called Pods.
