 Mike asked me how we proxy connections from BaseResource. On 60esr, we
 used [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/commit/?h=tor-
 browser-60.9.0esr-8.5-2&id=cb1bae328e04f7219b0fa9f200cd4815663b5982 a
 patch] for this. That patch was dropped during the rebase becaues I
 incorrectly thought I neutered BaseResource in the
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/commit/mobile/android?h
 =tor-browser-68.1.0esr-9.0-2&id=662ebfc05416d2c0cd7769f864116581a1a78cad
 patch] for #28125.

 I think we're still safe, and we disable all places where BaseResource is
 used, but let's re-land this patch (or we should kill BaseResource
 connections), just so we're more certain the app isn't bypassing the
 proxy.
