Honestly I thought it would send out a no tracking flag. I wouldn't be surprised if it is or will be illegal to ignore that flag in some jurisdictions.

Do-Not-Track requests is nothing but a header on GET. at best, it's useless, with exceptions from websites that already barely track you. at worst, it's another data point for fingerprinting your browser.

Ya so a good reason to include it in the next wave of legislation, if it wasn't already in one.
