> In which scenario is it a feature to prevent the user from switching to
a pluggable transport easily from within the browser itself in case she
just get blocked in some country?
In any scenario, where Tor runs on a different system than the browser.
Such as Whonix, where Tor is running on Whonix-Gateway, while Tor Browser
is running in Whonix-Workstation. Or on systems, where the browser is by
design not supposed to configure Tor/pluggable transports. Such as Tails,
if I understand that right. They use tor-launcher in standalone mode and
not the let user configure Tor/pluggable transports within the browser.
For easily configuring pluggable transports in such cases, we have in
something else in mind:
