Propaganda article - they suggest moving to fucking brave browser. This was shared on the subreddit as well.

The do not track isn’t followed by any websites and can identify you anyway. Yeah good call OP, let’s ditch firefox for fucking brave

“Will Chrome, Edge, and Other Privacy-Focused Browsers follow this move?”

And it’s not The Onion.

It looks like GPC spec creates the same sort of tracking signal that DNT did, but it requests less protection: there is specifically a carve-out in GPC that says websites can track you, including for advertising purposes.

GPC is also not intended to limit a first party’s use of personal information within the first-party context (such as a publisher targeting ads to a user on its website based on that user’s previous activity on that same site).

Some Websites use Dnt and we know the discussion about cookie banners. We heared arguments that those are necessary to be GDPR conform. There always was the argument to establish, that sites have to respect the state of the art information ‘Do not trackt’ to illiminate the annoying cookie process. Now this Option is gone.

Not so smart.
And being tracked by this header? Simply activated it be default, Mozilla and there are enough users sharing the same configuration.

Not bothered by the loss. Like others have stated, it can be used to track/profile you, but far more importantly, it was a non-legally binding “pretty please, do not track me, okay?” Request. Based on literally how honestly the server was setup or if the site admins felt like respecting it. 0% guarantees.

I have not been bothering to enable this for close to a decade in all my machines and on those I support.

Always found it weird how it was so pushed in tons of privacy guides or in privacy tips. It’s as if they were just parroting each other without actually thinking why it would or not work at all.

What the fuck, Mozilla?
