I am used to the Tor Browser Bundle and question everything. I like
having https://check.torproject.org/ as the Tor Browser's default
homepage to make sure that I really am using Tor. Users who switch
between the Tor Browser Bundle and Tails could probably benefit from
having the same "routine" with both tools/systems, e.g. waiting for
check.torproject.org to load before browsing to other sites.
