Mozilla has announced the removal of the 'Do Not Track' (DNT) feature from Firefox, a decision that has garnered mixed responses from users and industry experts. Commenters reflect on DNT’s ineffectiveness, arguing that it was largely ignored by websites and became an additional identifier for users rather than a privacy protector. The transition appears to be in favor of a new privacy measure, the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which is perceived to be a more enforceable solution, built on legal standards such as the CCPA. Critics emphasize that the removal may lead to more intrusive consent prompts as the agency for users to opt out diminishes. Many share concerns over how swiftly Mozilla implemented this change without comprehensive community input, raising flags about user agency and the ongoing battle against online tracking. The suggestion emerged to enhance user privacy features collectively rather than dismiss existing ones, with a possibly clearer stance against tracking under more robust regulations.
