 > Ah that explains a few things. I'm happy to leave the badge as a cookie-
 based "opt-in once for everywhere" way of participating in snowflake. I
 think the UI changes in #27384 would help users remain reasonably informed
 by their participation across various sites.

 even want to keep the badge around?

 I think there's value in having a web page that people can visit to become
 a proxy without having to install an extension. The distributed-badge
 thing is comparatively much less useful. I agree that of the
 possibilities, the WebExtension has the most promise and should be
 prioritized.
