 sandboxed-tor-browser knows how to connect via bridges using obfs4proxy,
 but it probably shouldn't.

  * I don't test it.
  * It breaks randomly.
  * It objectively weakens the protections made to the tor container
 (seccomp).
  * I haven't been updating the default bridge list.
  * There's a huge mess of UI code that will go away if this was gone.
