Yeah, I could see that.  I tried to make it "responsive design"y, and I
usually test UI changes on a whole spectrum of (emulated) screen sizes.
However, I don't have any hardware device with a normal phone-sized screen, so
I've probably missed some things.

What if we were to make a URL that is like
https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges&mobile=true that would turn the bridge
lines into bridge:// links (and have something to click to switch to the
non-mobile version and vice-versa)?  Having PT-protocol specific URL scheme
might be a bit of a rabbithole for Orbot, as far registering the intent
handlers goes, because if a user requests
https://bridges.torproject.org/options&transport=beetlejuice and BridgeDB
actually somehow has a transport with that name, then that user would get

    beetlejuice://3.3.3.3:3333%20key=itsshowtime

click on it, and expect Bee — wait… also what would happen if the user clicked
on a bridge:// but didn't have Orbot installed?  Would it open in a browser?
Perhaps there should be separate mobile pages which, rather than saying
"Download Tor Browser", say "Install Orbot"?

Could you please make a ticket?

Thanks!
