Kindly amend READ.me to suggest keeping a Snowflake tab open as a simple alternative #4

Kindly amend your READ.me / introductory page to suggest a further, simpler alternative besides the four alternatives that you have already listed:

Keep a Snowflake tab open or pinned. Slide "Enabled" switch right to turn on:
https://snowflake.torproject.org/embed

NB: Kindly also address a further issue so that you could advise the countless users of the popular "dark mode" as follows:

users of a "dark page mode" may need to turn it temporarily off to "light mode" to be able to see the switch.

The switch may not be visible on that tab as in my case nor on the Firefox (and Chrome?) extensions, and therefore:- (a) tor end-users do not benefit;
(b) Snowflake enthusiasts are wasting their time and effort; and (c) Snowflake enthusiasts might become disillusioned and stop recommending use of Snowflake and even Blizzard when they notice the report that "Number of users your Snowflake has helped circumvent censorship in the last 24 hours" is steadily zero.

Indeed, the Snowflake gitlab will hopefully improve their tab design for dark mode users, but this workaround helps.

Thank you for considering both of these issues to help tor end users more.
