Unless you have Chrome.
It should be pretty obvious why Chrome doesn't implement it. It's against the core business of Google (tracking). They will only implement if it causes a PR issue (and this very post is a PR issue btw, even thus a small one)
- jabr 14y agoGoogle has already committed to supporting it in Chrome. It's just not in it yet. I don't know if they've made any promises to honor DNT requests, but their browser will be able to send them.
- vog 14y agoGoogle has an "Incognito" mode which provides an even better tool against tracking than DNT, because it doesn't depend on the merci of the websites you are visiting. Also note that almost no other browser are supporting such a feature out-of-box, at least not when this feature was added to Chrome. So while I'm not a big fan of Google, either, I find it hard to argue that Google doesn't care about privacy features in Chrome.
- andreasvc 14y agoIIRC, Firefox's private browsing mode is older than Incognito.
