Tor Browser Bundle is better than tails

I'll post the same comment I posted in that thread:
I just tested using a bridge in Tails 1.1 from the greeter and it worked without problem.
I also tested persisting the /etc/tor directory with a user modified torrc. I put a Bridge line in torrc, set UseBridges to 1 and that worked as well.
Bridge aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:443 fingerprint
UseBridges 1
So, while guard node rotation is a problem, there are viable workarounds for Tails.

Look in into whonix guys. It's a debian based OS where all traffic is force routed through tor.

Its not that simple. The thing with tails is its' amnesiac. It doesn't leave any traces after your done. The browser bundle does leave traces. So there is a trade off. The bundle may be more effective in using the tor network according to this advisory. BUT, if you computer is seized Tails is going to just be on a CD... with no proof you've even used it. The bundle will leave traces of use. Not only setup information, bookmarks, etc... but, Possibly a fair bit of other data. Its amazing what you can find on a computer if your knowledgeable of computer forensics.
Its up to everyone know get informed of the trade offs, and make an educated choice.
