 The *required at the top of the form was completely missed by me when I
 saw this page opening Tor Browser. This would make it more obvious those
 fields are not required and may improve conversion rate.

 (Personally I would prefer to not ask for a name at all. Additionally, the
 concept of first and last names is quite a Western idea as I understand it
 and may not translate well in other cultures where names work
 differently.)
