 Thanks for your review!


 > Implementation would be be easier if we could reuse Firefox's existing
 `about:neterror` page layout and elements. Maybe that is not feasible if
 we decided to keep the `Browser` / `Tor Network` / `Host` graphic though,
 because Mozilla only includes a graphic on the left side. Load this link
 to see an example:
 >
 `about:neterror?e=dnsNotFound&d=We%20can't%20connect%20to%20the%20server%20at%20foozat.com`
 >
 Yes for sure. We can re-use `about:neterror`. I do think the 3 steps graph
 is very useful for users, but if we decide that such implementation is
 out-of-scope, then we can move forward with just a title and a
 description.

 > If we do keep the three-part graphic, do you think it would be an
 improvement to change the `Host` label to `Onion Site`?
 Yes, it's a great idea.
