Firefox Do-Not-Track Feature Has a Fatal Flaw
Firefox Do-Not-Track Feature Has a Fatal Flaw - PCWorld Business Center
Mozilla is working on a new privacy feature for its Firefox browser that will enable users to opt out of online tracking by enabling a do-not-track setting in the HTTP header. The approach is better than nothing, and arguably better than rival do-not-track proposals, but still has a fatal flaw--it relies on the tracking Web sites to play nice.
The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has recognized that tracking is a privacy concern for Web-surfing citizens, and it has proposed implementation of some sort of do-not-track framework similar to the do-not-call lists that are supposed to keep annoying telemarketers from calling you.
