As far as the single digit percentage of users.... True. Which is fine. We single digit who DO know can use it and enjoy the lack-of-tracking. Everyone else who doesnt know can be tracked.

Of course, what they really meant was that it was only supposed to impact the single digit percent of people who really care about their privacy enough to change a setting, and not the masses.
Chrome, on the other hand, had to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting DNT at all. It was pretty obvious Google didn't like the idea, but ended up doing it anyway after everyone else did so.

Originally posted by Ericg View PostYes the DNT header has been standarized. Chrome ships with it available, Firefox ships with it available, IE ships with it turned on by default. The problem is it is supposed to represent a CHOICE by the user, and the advertisers are supposed to respect that choice. If everyone shipped with it turned on by default it would no longer be representing a choice and the advertisers would lose their only reason to abide by it...good will and respect of choice.

Originally posted by Nuc!eoN View PostFunny that now they are so keen switching their browser engine. I remember a discussion if they should switch to webkit and one of the core arguments against was that all addons would need to be rewritten. Well but the same applies when they switch to Servo of course....
