Comment:

 I've coded a browser plugin for Chrome:
 https://github.com/glamrock/cupcake

  The concept could be used in addons for FireFox, Opera, or Safari as
 well, since they all allow processes to run in the background.

 Benefits:
 * Allows people to opt-in to becoming flash proxies, rather than current
 opt-out model
 * Works in Chrome OS
 * Takes all guesswork out of making a bridge
 * Flash proxies made with Cupcake have a substantially longer uptime than
 those using site visitors
 * Uses less memory than either Tor BB or Vidalia

 I've tested it and it seems to work well. If it's useful, I'll submit it
 to the Chrome Web Store.
