How is it that you even considered DNT a viable option when it's been common knowledge for years that DNT is a failed technology? Even Wikipedia knows that, and yet you, an expert in the field, don't?
- prophesi 7y agoYeah, we need a "it's now infeasible to track me" as opposed to a "please don't track me."

Alice> Perfect! It's a bit like web sites that allow you to opt out of tracking and targetted advertising by directing you at the cookie config settings in your web browser. A token gesture.
