Currently title always has the question "Are you using Tor?"
It is very cheap and easy to make it much more informative by putting and
answer there:
* YES, You are using Tor
or
* NO, You are not using Tor
This will be great for people who are on slow connections and have to wait
for many seconds for an answer, so they can switch to another page and
still see the answer.
Additionally, for people with JavaScript enabled, you can also easily
switch favicon to red one when the answer is NO, as a safety feature to
catch attention more easily:
{{{
(function() {
var link = document.createElement('link');
link.type = 'image/x-icon';
link.rel = 'shortcut icon';
link.href = 'http://check.torproject.com/favicon-red.ico';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(link);
}());
}}}
Additionally, again for people with JavaScript enabled, you can add the
ability to automatically recheck every minute for an hour. When JavaScript
is enabled, you don't need to reload the whole page, instead you can just
fetch the boolean answer to save bandwidth, and then switch the page
dynamically. So it will probably consume only 2 times the bandwidth, not
60 times, when it will update 60 times.
