Comment (by cohosh):

 Replying to [comment:6 arma]:
 > As another data point, I'm using the Firefox extension (on Debian's
 firefox -- looks like it's called "60.7.2esr-1") (I've set auto update to
 enabled, so about:addons says I'm on Snowflake 0.0.4 now), and I've never
 seen anything other than "0" in the user count.
 >
 > This is part of why I've been pushing for more feedback to the user of
 the extension -- there's no way for me to know if it's working or not, and
 as an ordinary user I would have uninstalled it by now figuring it's
 broken (even if it isn't).

 > So, we should both figure out whether it's broken and fix it as needed,
 and also figure out a better UX for me as a volunteer to know whether I'm
 being helpful. :)

 Yep, I'd kind of like to eventually get the broker statistics we're
 collecting published into constantly updating graphs of the sort
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30693#comment:3 here].
 Perhaps we can add a link to these graphs from the webextension which will
 give users an idea of whether the low usage they're seeing is due to lack
 of clients or possibly something else.
