Can the number of users simultaneously connected to the Snowflake browser extension exceed 1?

I have been using the Snowflake extension in Firefox for very long now, and I’ve only ever seen one user connected at a time. This is interesting, because it says ‘Number of users currently connected: 1’ which suggests that the number is able to change, otherwise it could have just said ‘User connected’ or something similar.

Is it possible for more than one user to be connected at once?

The current implementation only allows 1 concurrent in the snowflake webextension. There is the plan to support more in a configurable form, but not sure when will be there.

This limitation is not there in the snowflake standalone proxy, but is a bit more complicated to run:
