You're right. The ship has sailed...for advertisers. They'll wish this DNT variant had caught-on, because since then ublock origin and others like it have become significantly more popular, the native-adblock Brave browser is growing slow and steady, and now even Mozilla offers users the option to disable all tracking. Perhaps in another couple of years Mozilla will enable it by default for everyone.
- brokensegue 9y agocitation on brave growth?
- Endy 9y agoExcept of course tracking for Mozilla's monetary and advertising partners, like Google. They'll pass that off as part of their Shield Studies and insert hidden tracking plugins into the browser which will be invisible to the user.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoYou'll need to provide some pretty solid proof for that accusation. Credible Wireshark log dumps would be a good start.
- Endy 9y agoSince I refused to downgrade to WebExtensions Firefox, and I'm currently using Pale Moon for most browsing (and I'm looking at Otter as a possible #2), I don't have access to it anymore. I simply do not trust Mozilla anymore, or Firefox.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoSo you have absolutely no proof of any kind, other than paranoid ideas, which fits in nicely with the usual misguided anti-webextensions ranting. I'm sorry, but if you expect anyone to believe you, you're going to have to produce actual evidence.
