Now the EU just needs to turn it into an actual liability for corporations. Otherwise it will remain as an additional bit of entropy for tracking.
Services should be denied the capacity to track and fingerprint, not just told about a preference against it.
DNT will always be an "evil bit", regardless of any law behind it.
Asking browsers to implement uBlock Origin natively tho...
Its not hard when it comes to any website of note, large companies can't easily hide what their computers are doing really, if they have code that tracks people it is gonna be found.
The story that advertisers don't know what users selected and that somehow allows them to track the user is disingenous.
(and frankly, the number of users that actively want to consent to this is essentially zero)
I always constent to cookie popups so the number can not be 0.
It absolutely will happen if you install uBlock Origin.
People always comment that the internet is "so much nicer" after I install uBlock Origin on their browsers. It's just better, they can't explain why. They don't need to. I know why.
The fact is nobody wants this crap. Ads are nothing but noise in our signal. They're spam. They're content we did not ask for, forced upon us without consent. They do not improve the "experience", at best its impact is minimized.
