We've found that this decoupling (multi-party) approach is a good way to improve privacy in a bunch of networking contexts -- here's a paper we wrote a few years ago with colleagues at Fastly and Cloudflare on the topic:
I never met Chris Wood before but I remember this name due to him being a co-author of the Private Access Token idea[0]. I haven't heard of Privacy Pass before but it sounds very similar to PAT.
My understanding is that both of these would be very helpful to a VPN (I'm using the word loosely) user. Do you know if the adoption of Privacy Pass/PAT has reduced or mitigated annoyances such as frequent CAPTCHA checks for Obscura users?

Oh very cool! I met Chris Wood at the IETF a while back, he's working on a bunch of cool things including Privacy Pass!
