I'm sad to see this, as many sites actually used it.
Geizhals.de, a major european price comparison site, uses DNT as cookie opt out.
My personal sites, but also the official websites from a few companies I worked at used umami or plausible metrics, configured to obey the DNT header for opt out handling.
And only recently German courts have ruled that the DNT header is legally considered rejection of tracking (Az.: 16 O 420/19)
It's actively used across the web, and Mozilla just decides to kill it? What the heck?
