   Thanks! ^_^ A firefox port is not planned for various reasons, but I'm 
looking into an Android app.  An activist approached me some time ago 
after their network was having issues getting backdoored Firefox 
extensions, which is what led to Satori's development.  There's less to 
lose for a censor by tampering with FF extensions in-transit than 
MITMing all connections to Google's distribution networks.

   Large projects like Whonix and Tails won't be added just due to their 
shear size.  SSL is throttled pretty heavily in certain locales, so it 
seems likely that the request would time out for those who need it most.

   Having said that, I do take project suggestions, feature requests, and 
github issues :D

best,
Griffin
