The built in “do not track” features require companies to operate in good faith and honor that. I have zero trust In that.
I’m not talking about “Do Not Track”. I’m talking about features like this:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/trackers-and-scripts-firefox-blocks-enhanced-track
It’s a Firefox setting that specifically blocks pixels and cross-site cookies. It’s turned on by default, and you can increase it to “strict” if you value privacy over comparability.
Ah, wasn't aware of that one. Thanks for the info.
