Comment (by arlolra):
> Wouldn't it be smarter to have, say, Snowflake in our nightly builds
first for a while, propagate that to get the browser proxy more widely
distributed and then ship it in alphas?
Maybe there's a misunderstanding here.
The proxies (snowflakes) are run by random internet users in uncensored
regions. They just need to navigate to a certain website and then their
browser takes over. Distributing it widely means hosting the badge on
say, torproject.org, or some other highly trafficked site.
It's the same model as flashproxy (https://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy
/#how-it-works).
