Well, what we could do just as well is trying to load normally, but when it fails immediately load through Orbot. The delays should be minimal most of the time, and the crucial part is that a) users don't have to do anything, install other apps, change the settings - it just works, b) users won't

Hi all, Some months ago, the idea of setting up an onion service for Wikimedia projects was discussed on this list[1] and as a proposal in IdeaLab on Meta[2]. Today, Alec Muffett announced on Twitter[3] that he created «as an experiment» a series of read-only mirrors of all the Wikimedia
