[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 1088653, member: 71262"] As I understand it, when GPC is enabled in a browser it simply [I]announces[/I] a user's intention not to be tracked, as opposed to DNT which sends a [I]request[/I] not to be tracked. It can be implemented in the browser's code or by extension, as in Privacy Badger. The DNT request has to be recognized and then acted on by the website, or can simply be used as a further means to track user behavior, in which case it's simply another form of privacy violation. This is my understanding, but the subject is still not entirely clear to me. BTW, Edge does not include it in its code, and (on an entirely different subject) it doesn't include Chrome's bounce tracking mitigation, which is active by default in Chrome and Brave.
