Just try to enable Do Not Track in Chrome. See the scary long warning you need to accept. It makes you think you are going to get hacked or something if you accept it. You also need to click the "Confirm" button, which typically is reserved for serious stuff that has real effects.
> Enabling "Do Not Track" means that a request will be included with your browsing traffic. Any effect depends on whether a website responds to the request, and how the request is interpreted. For example, some websites may respond to this request by showing you ads that aren't based on other websites you've visited. Many websites will still collect and use your browsing data - for example to improve security, to provide content, services, ads and recommendations on their websites, and to generate reporting statistics.
No other privacy setting has such a scary warning.
