HTML5 leaks your IP address if you are using android. It is advised to switch to Firefox (and install specific add-ons) and then use Orbot. With using the OpenVpn for Android app (prefer the Arne Schwabe version) and a purchased VPN, it only leaks back to my VPN.

non persistent entry guards are very bad

Tor is supposed to use the same entry guard for about 8 months Torproject recently reduced it down from 3 to 1 for better security. When you use live cds like Tails, you rotate to a new guard after ever reboot. This greatly increases your chances of selecting a malicious guard, thus making you more vulnerable to traffic confirmation attacks

>Second, the Tails live CD doesn't use persistent guards. That's really bad I think

Even Roger Dingledine says Tails is bad becauses of this.
