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?
