Firefox's decision to remove the Do Not Track (DNT) option highlights the movement's decline as a viable privacy measure, signifying potential irrelevance in today's digital landscape.
The FTC's 2010 report aimed to empower consumers with a standardized privacy choice through a browser mechanism, yet the DNT initiative has largely failed, as many websites ignore it.
With Firefox's discontinuation of DNT support, the Global Privacy Control has emerged as a more effective alternative, gaining traction in some jurisdictions and reflecting evolving privacy standards.
Despite still being available in browsers like Chrome and Edge, the Do Not Track functionality has been criticized for its ineffectiveness in providing real privacy to users.
