How so? UMN has its idiosyncrasy about G+, but OverbiteFF and the Floodgap
proxy should be nearly indistinguishable (and when I add caps to Overbite
Android, it will be implemented in nearly the same way as OverbiteFF).
Again, not like I'm terribly worried, but I don't want to make the client
unnecessarily *easy* to fingerprint.
