 Right now we don't offer the user much help when connecting wherever they
 are with their mobile phone. They get to make the choice to be on the safe
 side given their current context as to whether they want to connect
 directly or use a bridge/PT.

 However, we might be able to be smarter here and make at least suggestions
 or allow even some bridge selection behind the scenes helping with a more
 automated bootstrapping.

 The desktop related tickets are #21951 and #24527.

 See for a good summary on what the Briar folks do (with further links to
 tickets on their side): https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 dev/2019-February/013708.html.
