 It seems that neither the current nor the proposed design of the Tor
 Launcher takes much care about the use case where Tor users use third-
 party censorship circumvention tools to bypass the Tor censorship.
 However, those third-party censorship circumvention tools are actually
 widely used in heavily censored area where Tor bridges and pluggable-
 transports are not effective.

 Therefore, it would be helpful to do more research on how we can design a
 better Tor Launcher to guide users configure the Tor to work with those
 third-party censorship circumvention tools.
