Enable Do Not Track in Firefox 4

Posted by JD 03/31/2011 at 17:00

Whether the Do Not Track settings have any legal support or not, it is worth enabling this for anyone who would like to tell websites not to track them. It may be a worthless effort, but thankfully, it doesn’t take much effort, so why not?

On my Linux system, running Firefox 4.0, the Tell web sites I do not want to be tracked setting, yes, that is the exact wording, is under the Advanced tab of the General tab in the Firefox Preferences.

Steps:

  • Edit
  •   Preferences
  •     Advanced
  •       General
  • then under the Browsing heading, check box to Tell web sites I do not want to be tracked
    Do Not Track
    Simple.

On other operating systems, it should be easy to find.
