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?
Yeah, they won't set it by default as they don't want to bite the feeding hand.
Maybe, or maybe GPC only provides more bits of information that can be used for fingerprinting.
@Engywuck I still think enabling the user to opt-in / opt-out is the right thing. But to do that, the user needs to be fully informed about every option and the platform has to be enough clear and flexible.
@ANderagakura @Engywuck Under the GDPR, opt-out is not an option, so if the approach taken is not an opt-in one it is arguably unlawful in the EU.
I wonder how they plan to address the different legal requirements from different legislations...
