I just installed Brave to have some different accs logged, and then I saw that addon... I'm running it right now but... did I just set a Tor relay? Really? It wasn't that easy before :S

Are you aware that lists of relay IPs exist, and are used to block access to some sites? I learned the hard way (but that was before Snowflake existed, I don't know if it's the case here)
