Okey this URL https://global-privacy-control.glitch.me/ shows 3 tests are passed by Brave and DDG, only 1 of 3 is passed by Mull. Not sure how usefull it is or just same fake as 'Do not track'?
@mintycactus Apple removed DNT from Safari and the other browsers did it as well because it was not used.
Today, GPC is being developed by a large coalition including W3C @w3c. The result is more and more publishers and browser implements it to replace DNT and be aligned with some law (e. g. CCPA etc...)
Mozilla is sure does everything their users could be tracked as much as possible. Check this https://stackdiary.com/german-court-bans-linkedin-from-ignoring-do-not-track-signals/ and yes, Brave did not removed Do not track option. Being late and opt-in is just one more Mozilla test on users?
@mintycactus No matter if Brave removes it or not, the question is : Is DNT followed by vendors behind? I've tried to add more context here => https://mastodon.social/@ANderagakura/111334483858036981
Regarding Mozilla, today the plan is to set GPC by default
But both DNT and GPC are fingerprinting vector. I believe it do not matters any more at all, as it was introduced allready and sites will continue to read the signal on or off.
