Comment:

 Thanks for trying Snowflake.

 I'm not 100% sure why the popup appears on macOS--I think it has something
 to do with the UDP socket the client creates for the WebRTC connection. We
 may be able to get rid of it, or we may not. But if we cannot, then we
 need to at least mention it in our tutorials (it surprised me too when I
 saw it the first time).
