Comment(by arma):
I talked to Ashkan about this last night, and he said it is too early for
us to be setting do-not-track in tbb. His first reasoning was that he
wanted it to be an explicit "the user chose it" opt in, so seeing it has
more impact on vendors. I explained that the user is choosing TBB and that
means they're opting in to all the good things we give them. His next
reasoning was that nobody knows what do-not-track is actually supposed to
mean vendors will do, and those decisions will come later.
So, no rush here.
Also, Mike, you'll get a chance to debate this topic in person with him at
the WSJ NYC hackfest I think?
