Hi Arthur and All -- <<< All browsers should make DNT the default, >>> Yes, I too would like to have DNT set by default in all the browsers. But if just a few percent of browsers' users will have "tracking ON" would then I have the luxury of having free of charge GMail, Hotmai, mail.ru, ... SkyDrive, DropBox, .... accounts? <<< ... left-wing libertarian... >>> Have you ever had opportunity to live and work, make business for a long time in communistic, socialistic, totalitarian/paternalistic feudal-capitalistic countries? Left-wing libertarians refuse private property as the foundation of economic systems and insist on equitable distribution of resource rent - correct? <<< The whole notion of consumer civilization sucks >>> Maybe, do you have something else working better to propose to the masses? Sorry for a bit off-topic.
