Firefox is removing the Do Not Track privacy setting from version 135 onwards. The change is already live in Nightly. Mozilla recommends using the Global Privacy Control setting as an alternative to avoid being tracked.

    Do not track never worked, because it let the website operators decide if they want to honor it, and there was no downside to ignoring it.

    Makes sense to remove a useless privacy feature when many sites just ignore DNT requests. I’d rather not have them waste time on maintaining a feature that is only useful on a handful of sites that actually respect it.

    if they really cared about tracking they’d include noscript in every browser.
