 When you go to https://keroserene.net/snowflake/snowflake.html for the
 first time, you get the message "Not opted-in." You have to go to
 https://keroserene.net/snowflake/options.html, click "Yes", then go
 ''back'' to snowflake.html before you start being a proxy. (options.html
 doesn't have the proxy code.)

 The discoverability at https://keroserene.net/snowflake/index.html is
 worse: it doesn't say anything about opting in: you have to intuit that
 you should click on the badge to get to options.html, then go back again
 before you start being a proxy.

 I propose that both these pages should have a Yes/No button right there on
 the page. Clicking Yes should do both:
  1. set the opt-in cookie
  2. start up the proxy (without needing to refresh the page)
 Additionally, options.html should have a copy of the proxy code, so after
 you click Yes, it starts working immediately, without having to go to
 another page.
