Hello
I use Briar (Tor network) on my Android devices. But it can't send and receive messages when using a throttled internet connection.
I have SIM cards (5G, 4G, 3G and 2G) with data plans, but the speed is throttled to 64 Kbps or 32 Kbps.
Can the developers optimize Briar to send and receive messages even with throttled or very slow Internet connections (64 Kbps and 32 Kbps)?
For comparison I tried Signal Android and here it works fine with throttled internet connection.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1761Implement connection potential.

Hopefully the animated gif is pretty self explanatory. I think this concept would unify those settings (so there's no need to actually go to the settings to get more information about the switches)... and it makes those frequently accessed settings much more readily available to the user.
Greets!
