Please note that this is a list just for the shared wallets, not hybrid ones.

well with shared there is one wallet for all users and the service itself keeps record how much each user owns.
With the hybrid ones the keys are stored locally i believe (via javascript usually) and only you can access your wallet, understand send/receive money.
So you don't install software on your computer, but have about the same functionality and security. I think.... :)
