 > Ah, my idea that #6618 fixes this was that the results list in
 combination with search fields might help people interpret what this is
 all about.  Of course, the About page would help a lot, too.

 Gotcha!

 too much information.  We could start with the field descriptions on
 [https://onionoo.torproject.org/ Onionoo's protocol page] and cut out as
 much as we can while still keeping it informative.

 Sounds good. asn liked tooltips better I think. I'm ok with either. Let me
 know which to use

 "consensus weight", "guard probability", "middle probability", "exit
 probability", "country", and "autonomous system".  That would already
 clear up some confusion, I bet.

 Okay. Initially I didn't have space and the table extended out of the
 container that's why I abbreviated them. I'll see if this is still the
 case now that we've reduced the fingerprint size.

 I get the same RGB values for an example and an actual input value.

 Not sure if your screen is calibrated properly? My DigitalColor Meter
 tells me it's different - http://imgur.com/a/HtztE

 Okay will change!
