Hey there!  
We’re using IPFS heavily in the browser and are running into some performance issues around content discovery. I’m trying to speed that up using Delegate routing. I opened up the relevant API endpoints at `delegate.ipfs.runfission.com` & added that address to our config:

```auto
const DELEGATE_ADDR = '/dns4/delegate.ipfs.runfission.com/tcp/443/https'
...
const ipfs = IPFS.create({
  config: {
    Addresses: {
      Delegates: [DELEGATE_ADDR],
      Swarm: [SIGNALING_SERVER]
    },
    Bootstrap: [PEER_WSS],
  }
})

```

However, while monitoring the network tab, I don’t see any outgoing requests to, for instance, `dht/findProvs`.

I also checked out the debug statements and nothing in the `libp2p-delegated-content-routing` is getting logged.

Is there anything else that I need to do to turn delegate routing on? I’ve looked through the documentation & github issues and it seems that I only need to add the address to the config like above.

For reference, we are on js-ipfs@0.50.1 (and go-ipfs@0.6.0 on the server)
