Wow. I've never seen that. It would be great if it became more widespread. But isn't DNT deprecated in most browsers? Maybe I misremember.

- dylan604 6mo ago::shrug:: I set it a long time ago and never looked back. I never looked into it being deprecated, but I knew that pretty much everyone ignored it for reasons. But by these banners, I'm guessing it still lives on as a setting.
- LocalH 6mo agoAdvertisers ignored it because MS decided to turn it into opt-in instead of opt-out, and advertisers very much hate opt-in. They'd much rather require the most permissive defaults, and put every barrier they can in front of opting out.
- mmooss 6mo agoUsers usually don't know about or change settings, so opt-out often means little. What portion of users knows about DNT? 1% 0.1% Microsoft knows that; they rendered DNT meaningless: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47990485 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47990485
