The "do not track" flag is strictly advisory anyway.
I doubt anybody actually pays any attention to it.

Can I answer your question with a question? How many fingers and toes do you have?
IMHO, Ghostery does a terrific job of tracking blocking.
But not everybody agrees with me.

Right, and moved to a platform that never had a “do not track” setting.

"Right, and moved to a platform that never had a do not track setting."That would be a move for the worse.
The Do Not Track feature sets the browser to include an instruction in every http request for the site not to track you. It's a good thing.
The article is about Microsoft's plans to change the default setting to "off."
