TL;DR Summary

Mozilla plans to remove the Do Not Track (DNT) feature from Firefox 135, acknowledging that few websites honor the request not to track users. Instead, Mozilla suggests using the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which has gained traction due to privacy laws like California's Consumer Privacy Act and the EU's GDPR. However, GPC's effectiveness is uncertain, as major browsers like Chrome and Edge do not support it natively, prompting users to consider additional privacy tools like extensions or VPNs.
