 look out for it. Was it the WebRTC connections that were failing, or
 normal page loads in your browser?
 > I didn't look closely, but I would load a small download and it would
 suddenly stop after 3-4sec, then nothing can be loaded, and after that no
 further connection can be established, waiting 4min I don't get any other
 snowflake (restarting the browser didn't change anything). Maybe it's a
 broker flaw? I can clarify further if this isn't clear.

 Oh thanks, I misread this and thought it was a webextension problem. This
 could be due to unreliable snowflakes. We just had a huge influx of
 snowflakes from webextension users and we're working out some engineering
 issues that come with a large variety of snowflakes, each with different
 throughputs and connectivity. It's possible you got a less reliable
 snowflake at first. Thanks for letting us know.

 I'm going to mark this as not a bug for now but feel free to re-open if
 you think this problem is persisting.
