Firefox Drops ‘Do Not Track’ Feature Amid Privacy Concerns

—

Mozilla has decided to remove the “Do Not Track” setting from Firefox, a move that comes as the feature failed to deliver on its promise.

While intended to prevent websites from tracking users, it was largely ignored by most sites.

In fact, the signal sent out by the setting could have been used to track users more effectively.

 This decision follows similar moves by other companies, such as Apple, which removed the feature from Safari years ago.

Mozilla’s action raises further questions about the effectiveness of voluntary privacy tools in protecting online users.
