More than a year and a half after Mozilla first led the way by promoting Do Not Track (DNT) technology for Firefox 4. Google is now finally on-board too, with the Chrome 23 release.
The basic idea with DNT is it gives users the choice to either allow or block sites from tracking them. Seems like an obvious and easy enough idea – and frankly I have not idea why it has taken so long to implement.
Oh wait, maybe I do.
