🛡️ Mozilla removes Do Not Track feature from Firefox 135. In a significant change, Mozilla has announced that the Do Not Track (DNT) toggle will be removed from Firefox’s Privacy and Security settings with the release of version 135, scheduled for February 4, 2025. The decision follows the realization that many websites do not honor DNT requests, rendering the feature largely ineffective. Instead, Mozilla encourages users to utilize the newer Global Privacy Control (GPC) feature, which aims to provide better privacy protections in line with evolving privacy laws like California’s Consumer Privacy Act and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. While GPC is supported by several browsers, it is not available in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, prompting users to consider additional privacy tools.
