Privacy Pass Protocol support

[Destroyinator69420]

Privacy Pass is a protocol supported by Cloudflare Captcha and Hcaptcha that allows users to solve one Captcha and earn privacy passes so they do not have to solve the next one. The privacy pass devs can be found at https://privacypass.github.io/. The source code for the extension can be found at https://github.com/privacypass/challenge-bypass-extension, and the protocol is documented at https://privacypass.github.io/protocol/.

All the best,

Yeah, we already thought about this. Unfortunately, Mobile Safari cannot load plugins, so that would mean a complete rewrite in Swift. We'll see, what iOS 15 will bring in that regard. Apple announced, that Mobile Safari will support Webextension Plugins. Not sure if that support will end up in WKWebView, too. Where we still need to migrate to...

Huh... There's nows on that front, @n8fr8:

Maybe we don't even need to do anything to support it with OB3?

It would be great to have support here, whether we have to write it ourselve or not.
