    The simplest way to contribute to the TOR project.

    It works from the moment it is installed.
    The possibility of enabling or disabling it with a single click is practical.

    Grateful with this extension that allows me to contribute.

    The idea is great, but please consider adding the ability to monitor how much bandwidth is currently being used and limit the amount of bandwidth I am willing to dedicate to snowflake.

    how to test this work or not?

    When 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,

    Finally the number of users I helped circumvent censorship is not 0 anymore!

    What do you mean by: "Not Censored"? Is there really a country without censorship?

    Can we say that Germany is "not so much" censored so people who live there could help with this too?

    PS.: Please do not mess with addons upon updating TTB. I hate disabling HTTPSEverywhere at every update.

    Yeah, the wording there is not very specific.

    We're working on adding some checks to Snowflake so that it can detect when it is censored in a relevant way and can shut itself down to avoid poor user experiences.
