Comment:

 Noticed a couple things:

 1
 The Credits, Freedoms, and Privacy pages need to be changed as well.

 2
 When there are multiple `<nav>` elements in a page (and there are already
 the toolbar and the admin menu), the navigation landmark need to be
 disambiguated otherwise assistive technologies users won't have a clue
 what a specific navigation is about (see attached screenshot below). All
 the new `<nav>` elements need an `aria-label` attribute with a meaningful
 name. Please avoid the word "navigation" as that's already automatically
 announced by screen readers as the element's role.
