@mattgrayyes the sheer fact there's neither a "#DeclineAll" button that declines all nor that they don't interpret a #DoNotTrack-#Cookie as a 'decline all' should be illegal!

@pilfer @CStamp @torproject I.just refuse to use sites that don't offer a "decline all" out of principle, since #DoNotTrack is set!

@fasnix und Ablehnen nur ein klick, ohne #Nudging oder #DarkPattern.
Scheint nicht zu funktionieren, ich bin dafür, dass das ab sofort nur noch opt-in geht, das "in" darf von mir aus in der Fußzeile der Webseite zu finden sein. Alternativ könnte sich "die Industrie" auf einen Standard zum Opt-In auf Browserebene einigen, ich wette das wird schneller funktionieren als #DoNotTrack oder #GlobalPrivacyControl

@LilahTovMoon shit like this should be illegal.
I want respecting "#DoNotTrack" to become legally mandatory in #Germany so everything but #Login-#Cookies are illegal!
#Firefox ditches #DoNotTrack because nobody was listening anyway
When #Firefox135 is released in February, it'll ship with one less feature: Mozilla plans to remove the Do Not Track toggle from its #Privacy and Security settings.
Few websites actually respect the option, says #Mozilla https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/12/firefox_do_not_track/

Firefox elimina la función Do Not Track... afortunadamente #Firefox #DoNotTrack

MuyComputer · Firefox elimina la función Do Not Track… afortunadamenteHubo un tiempo en que «Do Not Track» fue una bandera de esperanza para quienes buscaban una experiencia en línea más privada. Introducida hace más de una década, esta función prometía a los usuarios que, con solo activar una opción en su navegador, podrían evitar que los sitios web los rastrearan. Sin embargo, esa promesa […]
CET One of the best lies of the anti-privacy internet is "We do not know how to react if someone's browser signals us 'Do Not Track'"—I mean, could this be more literal?
It's like a bank robber saying "What do you mean: 'Don't take the money'? I don't understand. What do you expect me to do? Work? That's ridiculous! Best I can do is taking your money"

@amin @Spud_Coolzip @jstatepost @VisualStuart Whilst not *the* default, you can get extensions that help, at least on Firefox.
I *think* it's "ClearURLs" tidying up YouTube (e.g. right click in side bar of recommendations) links for me. I also have "google-no-tracking-url" for Google search results.
"Do Not Track" was a web standard created in 2009, and Firefox was the first browser to adopt the feature. However, Websites, routinely ignore it, and in some cases it can actually reduce your privacy.
So Firefox is now dropping the features, and encourages users to look at other ways to protect their privacy, including Enhanced Tracking Protection, Website containers, And others that actually work.

Mozilla removes Do Not Track setting from Firefox, because most websites don't respect it, in fact, it often makes fingerprint more unique, because most users don't have it enabled; “Tell websites not to sell or share my data” setting is recommended instead as it's more enforcable by law:

(Wow my latest video got "featured" on one of the screenshots in the official announcement! I'm famous, guys! I'm famous! lol)
(Jokes aside, it's good that PeerTube finally has its own mobile app, it can potentially get more people using the platform, in this mobile-oriented digital landscape. The local account thing is pretty interesting, I've only seen that feature in third-party YouTube/PeerTube clients like NewPipe and FreeTube. PeerTube is probably the first video sharing platform implementing it in its official app.)

Unelma paremmasta yksityisyydensuojasta ei koskaan lyönyt itseään läpi - Firefox lopettaa Do Not Track -toiminnon
Do Not Track -tekniikasta piti tulla yksityisyyttä tarjoava, helppokäyttöinen ratkaisu. Kaikki selaimet tukivat sitä, mutta koska mikään laki ei vaatinut mainostajia tukemaan sitä, siitä ei koskaan ollut juurikaan mitään hyötyä.

Entre as atitudes da Mozilla, eu não sou contra a remoção do Do Not Track. Ele realmente não serve mais pra nada, e até arrisca diminuir a privacidade. Como por padrão ele fica desativado nos browsers mais comuns, se um site recebe o sinal de "Do Not Track", ele pode usar isso pra saber que é alguém que, por exemplo, se interessa por privacidade online, assim diminuindo a privacidade online dela. É contraproducente e estranho.

@karlauerbach nodds in agreement
It's high time @mozilla / @mozillaofficial / #Mozilla just hands over #Firefox to @torproject / #TorProject so they can make #TorBrowser the new #upstream for #Gecko.
- Seriously, #DoNotTrack could've been the best option and I wished @EUCommission and @Bundesregierung would've mandated the recognition of #DNT to the point that those #tracking and #cookie banners would've been #obsolete and #illegal as anything not "#TechnicallyNecessary" would've been criminalized.
And the only "technically necessary" are #login - #cookies (and like #session-cookies)!
It wasn’t useless… it helped delay any meaningful privacy regulation by a good ten years by perpetuating the myth of “self regulation.”
PS. Don’t look too closely at who was behind it to begin with if you don’t want to be disappointed yet again.
