Replying to [comment:5 dcf]:
> I don't know exactly how it works, but Tor Browser seems to choose more
than one bridge. For example, in my browser right now, the log mentions
GreenBelt, Azadi, MaBishomarim, cymrubridge31, Lisbeth, noether,
cymrubridge33, NX01, ndnop5.
The design as I understood it (hopefully it hasn't changed) is that when
you choose a class of bridges, Tor Browser tells Tor about all of those
bridges, and then it's up to Tor to use them smartly.
Tor tries to fetch a descriptor from each bridge every 15 minutes or
something, to keep up to date. Separate from that, it tries to use the
entry guard algorithm to focus its 3-hop circuits on only one or a few of
the bridges.
So you should see descriptor refresh messages for each bridge every so
often, or failure messages if there's something wrong with the bridge, for
every bridge that Tor Browser tells Tor.
