 Indeed. :(

 binary` with our own in the `tor-browser` build, but ugh.

 We don't have that yet, but I guess we could hack that up for the upcoming
 alpha using work boklm did for the snowflake integration. But I guess our
 best bet is the Guardian Project folks fixing this issue on short notice
 on their end. _hc n8fr8: would that work?
