Is there any reason that it's downloaded via Git rather than a standard HTTPS archive download? The excessively large size is a significant barrier to some users with limited storage capacity and/or network bandwidth.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/l10n/-/issues/40016Cannot choose language on mobile2021-03-02T10:33:39ZstephwCannot choose language on mobileThe entire language list is not accessible on mobile.

```golang
// First, prune expired cache entries.
now := time.Now()
cacheMutex.Lock()
for index, entry := range *tc {
if entry.Time.Before(now.Add(-CacheValidity)) {
delete(*tc, index)
}
}
```
This scales linearly, which is bad news. On my core i7 2.9 GHz laptop, it takes 0.3 ms to prune a cache holding 10,000 elements. @cohosh [suggested](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/bridgestrap/-/commit/ecc6e0487655af9ab6f91ff4fbab7ce76d11caa7#note_2709958) that we could use Timers instead: each time a cache entry is added, we set up a new timer. In parallel, we have a goroutine running that waits for the timers to fire, to then delete the expired cache entries.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys/-/issues/8Come up with a better terminology for bridges2021-06-10T14:14:46ZPhilipp Winterphw@torproject.orgCome up with a better terminology for bridgesOur terminology for bridges is confusing:

* *Private* bridges are bridges that BridgeDB doesn't know about. Users may mistakenly conclude that if a bridge isn't private, it must be public, which is incorrect. Suggestions for other terms: unshared, exclusive, unlisted, unknown.
* *Default* bridges are part of Tor Browser. Conceptually, default bridges are more like obfs4-enabled guard relays. Suggestions for other terms: built-in (we may have been using that term occasionally), standard, public.
* We don't have a consistent term for bridges that are distributed by BridgeDB/rdsys. Perhaps we don't need a term because that's the default?
How can we improve the situation?
