So... I feel like this point doesn't get made enough. And I've always been confused about that. Maybe I'm just reading the wrong articles, but the only place I can ever find someone pointing out that this only serves to increase user fingerprints is in communal discussions like HN, and rarely, and somewhere down the list. I can't ever seem to find it in articles. Here's an article actively criticizing the DNT flag: https://gizmodo.com/do-not-track-the-privacy-tool-used-by-millions-of-peop-1828868324 https://gizmodo.com/do-not-track-the-privacy-tool-used-by-mi... and it doesn't mention the fact that DNT enhances your fingerprint. But look: https://panopticlick.eff.org/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/ even the EFF's own fingerprinting analysis tool recognizes that the DNT enhances your fingerprint. And yet they themselves proposed another DNT standard! https://www.eff.org/dnt-policy https://www.eff.org/dnt-policy
