Do Not Fool is like Do Not Track, but it's an April Fools' joke for 2011 that purportedly allows users to opt-out of Web-based shenanigans on April Fools' Day.
Origin and Motivation
The idea was originally proposed by Atul. Many Mozillians liked it because it speaks to a significant number of people who dislike April Fools' day, and also provides a nice opportunity to educate readers about Do Not Track.
It is also reasonably humorous.
Reference Implementation
Gandalf made a reference implementation. Its source code is on the Add-ons Builder, and the add-on itself is on AMO.
Logo
The logo pictured at the top of this page was created by Sean Martell.
Blog Post
A post entitled Protecting Users From An Age-Old Threat was published on the Mozilla Labs blog announcing the initiative. Additionally, the post was propagated through official Mozilla Twitter and Facebook channels.
Reception
- GigaOm included it in their list of favorite April Fools' pranks.
- Hacker News thread
Sites Supporting The DNF Header
To our surprise, some sites actually implemented support for the DNF header.
Support For The April 1 Firefox Nightly
Due to bug 645063, DNF will not work as expected in the April 1 nightly.
Solutions:
- Clicking privacy/advanced/privacy enables the injection.
- The latest revision of DNF supports the nightly.
