Comment (by sysrqb):

 Replying to [comment:9 hellais]:
 > Is there a particular reason to use the current format of
 `bridge_prefs.js` as opposed to something which has more common parser
 implementations in most languages, ex: JSON?

 I think no, only convenience for Tor Browser (we can simply include the
 content in the browser without any parsing or formatting during the build
 process). But, this list has grown beyond only Tor Browser consuming it,
 so changing the format of the file is reasonable.
