FYI, I just added NetCipher and PanicKit support to NewPipe.  Checking
on "Use Tor" makes everything but video streaming go over Tor.  For
video streaming, there needs to be a technique for proxying MediaPlayer
or ExoPlayer, so suggestions welcome.

Here's the work that I just got integrated.

https://github.com/theScrabi/NewPipe/pull/133 - panickit
https://github.com/theScrabi/NewPipe/pull/134 - cleaner IntentFilters
https://github.com/theScrabi/NewPipe/pull/136 - Orbot support
