Bug 17492: Include default bridges configuration However, we exclude meek from the bridges configuration, as it currently doesn't work in Tor Messenger because it requires firefox.
This could be a great opportunity for Yawning's recent meek variant that doesn't use an actual browser. (It won't work as well as the real meek, but maybe no actual adversaries care about the difference quite yet?)

You can also just run meek-client without the Firefox helper. It has a standalone mode. Just change the torrc line
ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/meek-client-torbrowser -- ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/meek-client
to
ClientTransportPlugin meek exec ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/meek-client
There's a man page for meek-client: https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/meek.git/tree/doc/meek-cl...

Yeah, the obfs4proxy change is mostly just to save bundle size/disk space for android and the like.

It works fine with this change. Thanks!
