shrtdb :: Mozilla Firefox removes "Do Not Track" Feature support: Here's what it means for your Privacy Firefox is removing Do Not Track support

Mozilla Firefox is removing the "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature from its browser starting in version 135.
DNT is a browser setting that allows users to signal their preference not to be tracked by websites, but many websites ignore this signal.
Mozilla believes DNT is no longer an effective privacy measure, as it is not respected by many websites.
As an alternative, Mozilla recommends using the Global Privacy Control (GPC) setting, which is built on top of the GPC standard and is respected by an increasing number of websites.
When Firefox removes DNT, users who have it enabled may see a message stating that Firefox no longer supports it, or the signal may still be sent to websites.
Other major browsers like Chrome and Edge still offer the DNT setting, but it remains to be seen if they will also remove it.
To enhance privacy, users can use privacy-focused browsers like Brave and DuckDuckGo, as well as ad blockers, VPNs, and browser extensions like Privacy Badger.
Mozilla has recently been planning an experiment to make Firefox the default browser on Windows 11, involving changes to the Firefox download page and installer.
The removal of DNT from Firefox is part of Mozilla's efforts to focus on more effective privacy measures as online privacy concerns grow.
Users' opinions on Firefox dropping the DNT setting are sought in the comments section of the article.
