Comment (by arma): Ok, I agree that #5915 is a promising direction to explore. Maybe this is also a ticket where we should involve our shiny new UX group? It would be smart to look at what sorts of error messages you get right now out of Tor Browser when Tor fails to establish a connection to the desired destination, and compare those to what we could get if we trick Tor Browser into thinking that the connection worked, and then if it turns out to fail, have Tor essentially mitm the connection and pretend to be the browser giving you an error. In particular, what are the situations where this idea would break down (SSL? html5? images and videos? more?), and what should we do then? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19910#comment:19> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
