That error page isn't making anyone question their perception or reality. And I'm pretty sure your average user associates browser error pages with problems "on their end", not site-specific ones. The page is blaming the user for something that's not their fault.

It is blaming the user for a server side issue, which could lead to alternate browsers being tested, tethered vs ethernet, cookies/cache clearing, extensions review, etc.

This makes the user question, is it me?
