[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1032189"] DNT is of virtually no usefulness. If you watch Youtube videos, use anything Google, use Windows OS or Office apps, answer CAPTHCHAs, etc - you are being tracked. If you do anything within the mainstream western financial system you are tracked. If you use helathcare services, then you are tracked. If you use licensed education software, then you are being tracked. Anything Apple or Adobe. Same. Tracked. It is more or less a futile enterprise to try to remain private. It is practically impossible to do so. It is even more foolish to think that you can using ANY device in a normal manner. You can pile on all the extensions you want, and then use VPN or TOR, and still you will be trackable. It is ridiculous that people keep trying to remain private digitally when it is just not possible to accomplish when using devices normally. Privacy can be accomplished but only through a carefully crafted system and routine that takes a huge amount of effort. The result is that you can never use any system in a normal manner. It modifies the user experience completely. [/QUOTE]
