I imagine most of us are assuming the latter?
- stephenr 12y agoGoogle's actions are increasingly negative from a personal freedom and personal privacy standpoint. Mozilla specifically mention that supporting DNT (Do Not Track) user preferences was part of the deal with Yahoo. Google's whole business model relies on huge numbers of users of their "free" services to monetise eyeballs on ads (plus of course further building profiles on users) - I find it very hard to believe they initiated this change.
