Mozilla will remove the Do Not Track setting from Firefox 135 (planned for Feb 4, 2025) because most sites ignore it and it may reduce privacy; users are directed to Global Privacy Control, which aligns with CCPA/GDPR. Chrome and Edge lack native GPC support, and users seeking stronger protections are advised to consider privacy extensions (e.g., Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) or a VPN.
