Comment (by antonela):

 Replying to [comment:27 mcs]:
 > * UX: For the circuit display, does it make sense to show the full onion
 address on hover? (in addition to the "Click to Copy" functionality). That
 could be done with a tooltip and would allow users to see the complete
 name without pasting somewhere else.

 We can show the full onion at the `alt` label for users who don't want to
 click copy. I like that idea. A custom tooltip seems too much, but a
 default hover seems appropriate.

 > * The `.tor.onion` illusion is not complete. For example, I noticed that
 when I created a bookmark the unfriendly `.onion` name was stored in the
 bookmark. It might be difficult to find and fix all cases like this
 though. In the long run, I wonder if we can learn something from how
 things like AltSvc are implemented (I assume AltSvc is handled at a much
 lower level than the URL bar but I have not looked closely).

 Saving the memorable address is a must! Maybe alt-svc or onion-location
 make it easier, yes.
