  It’s like begging somebody currently hurting you to not hurt you. Doesn’t work for reasons that should be obvious.

    It was a good idea. Offer an olive branch to see whether they accept it. Relatively low risk, high benefit. Then advertisers universally started using it as a unique identifier and I ceased considering whitelisting domains. If you’ve buckled down and decided to turn your business into a war, I’m fine with avoiding your business entirely

      If you turn your business into war, you should consider how badly it is possible to lose

    Since I’ve been using ublock origin, no script and, more recently, a VPN service, I hadn’t even noticed Do Not Track had been deprecated!

    I also didn’t notice it had been replaced with something called Global Privacy Control which appears just as doomed to me since it’s only enforceable in California (though the Wikipedia cites one case where it’s been used to make Sephora pay).

  I block trackers instead of asking nicely. It’s amazing how many seemingly innocent sites stop working.

    Fix it with a proxy, eg with the CyberGhost or VPNLY extensions (free, no logs, no limits) as I do to skip shitty country restrictions, even for streamings.

      Yeah, that’s good advice. I should sort it out.

  Do not track is used to finger print you.

  Yes, it’s maybe the most naive and useless setting in a browser, except if it has an inbuild ad/trackerblocker.

  I wonder how it would be received to show up to a regular protest in one of those green full body suits and this sign?
