>It would be different if DNT was enabled by default (I assume), but all browser makers dropped the ball here years ago. Browser makers did the logical decision as they have no control over websites adhering to DNT. If they made it default, every site would promptly ignore it as it'd impact their business too much to follow it. On the other hand, if they made it opt-in then sites might follow it for the minority of users who used DHT. In the end, it was a bad idea as it had no teeth at all to force adherence on websites.
