"Microsoft tried to enable "do not track" by default and the whole advertising industry went nuts."
Did they? I thought the advertising industry didn't care about this feature or it's default setting at all, since they just ignore it anyway.
It was privacy-conscious people who didn't like the activated-by-default setting. Because in the rare case some service actually did respect that feature, they most likely would choose to ignore it for all IE users, because in most cases it wasn't the users active choice.
- gcb0 10y agoyeah. pretty much every ad nerwork blatantly ignores it nowadays. They rushed to disable it when microsoft pulled that. enable it and visit amazon. See if their network will or will not show you tons of ads of what you just saw there.
