The majority of Snowflake users who completed the survey began using Tor Browser several times a week within the past year. The survey received 1,795 complete responses, of which 726 participants confirmed they use Snowflake as a pluggable transport. With Snowflake, censored users can rely on proxies run by volunteers to connect to the internet.ĭuring Q1 this year, the UX team ran a survey on Tor Browser Alpha to better understand Snowflake’s user experience. From now until then, Tor Browser will warn you when visiting a v2 onion site of its upcoming deprecation.
