Firefox isn’t the last browser to drop Do Not Track, but it’s a symbolic end to a long, sad campaign to claw back a little privacy.

It's not like it worked for shit.
- It will work, but we need working regulations, like the (not ideal) cookie law in the EU.
  But there is no will, means money are more important than people's privacy.
- It works in Geizhals.at (meaning "cheapskate", it's a price comparison website primarily for tech), where you get a short notification "We detected Do-Not-Track. Cookies are off."
  It's what could have been the DSGVO/GDPR cookie banner, but website hosts chose to go another way.
