Thanks for that welcome change, Vincent.  I downloaded and installed #4881 
just now and tried the site that I first reported in this thread.

I now get a "Connection timed out" error page -- screenshot here :
http://archivemag.co.uk/TEMP/NS-timedout.png  (45K)

But I'm not clear whether this page came from Netsurf or from the site 
named in the URL bar of the page.  If Netsurf, could I suggest that your 
design say so?  (Maybe just add a Netsurf logo.)

Anyway, it *is* more informative!

Cheers.

Nice one! 

Yes, the error "Couldn't resolve host name" is reported nicely.

I have changed how all network errors are reported to be a proper
error page instead of a popup. please can those affected (using CI
builds) confirm that the new behaviour is more informative and works
for them.
