Mozilla has announced that Do Not Track, a feature designed to prevent user tracking online, will be removed with version 135 of the company’s Firefox browser. The decision comes as more and more websites choose to ignore Do Not Track, leaving users with a false sense of security.
Privacy-conscious users are being encouraged to instead enable Global Privacy Control (GPC), a feature that tells sites your data may not be shared or resold to third parties.
Windowsreport notes that Do Not Track remains in place for the time being in other browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. So users who want to continue using the feature, might want to switch browsers.
