I'd still end up having to disable it because there are plenty of trackers that are not bound by US laws (or any laws) and providing DNT is a stronger identification signal than not giving it.

Another outcome is for Chrome to drop the feature. I think that's far cheaper than the alternatives considered.

As long as I can disable it (because DNT provides a pretty strong identification signal right now).

You don't need a fireable offense to fire an "at will" employee. I'm not even sure you need a reason for it. There are restrictions in terms of not being able to fire a person because of their gender, race, etc but beyon

And you should expect to be fired for doing so. I think both parties can be right to act as they did.

And how does that matter in terms of: 1. Google's statement, is it still accurate then? Seems to me. 2. Firing the employee. There's one thing for the law to shield employee from legal repercussions in a situation of them sending

Is there something like Chromium but for ChromeOS? I wouldn't worry about Google pings with Chromium (I mean, if they are, they are in the source code and can be ripped out) so it should work similarly for community ChromeOS builds.
