- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18379251, duela hilabete batExtension is disabled because now it requires privacy consent but fails to ask for it (or needs some specific trigger like browser restart? enabling/disabling the extension doesn't help).

posted duela 4 urteThanks for the feedback! We're working on making a separate Android app. It doesn't work well as a browser extension on Android because it needs to run as a background process. Here's some info tracking the Android work: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake-mobile/-/wikis/homeDeveloper response
posted duela 5 urteWhen the extension starts up, it does some feature detection (for websockets, webrtc) and a connectivity test (to the bridge). If everything is passing, it should display the string, "Your Snowflake is ready to help users circumvent censorship" (or, the equivalent translation). That's currently the indication that it's working.
Note that, by design, there are many more snowflakes than users, so it may take a while before accepting a connection.
We're working on better ways to communicate that the extension is being useful in,
