📱 Mozilla Firefox has removed the "Do Not Track" option
The decision is based on the fact that many websites ignore this signal, rendering the feature ineffective in protecting users' privacy.
Firefox since version 135 no longer displays the option to send a "Do Not Track" request in its privacy preferences.
Instead, Mozilla recommends using the Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an alternative to prevent tracking, as GPC is more widely respected by websites and is backed by legislation in some regions.
It's unclear how this transition will be handled for users who already have DNT enabled, but Mozilla has updated its support page to inform about these changes as reported by Windows report
