Make DNT signal accessible from the navigator global object Landed in Firefox 9 Justin Lebar Ioana Budnar In progress

Summary

  • Web sites should be able to check if I have do-not-track (DNT) turned on without needing access to the HTTP stream. A navigator.doNotTrack object in the JS global namespace could signal that I have enabled DNT, and its value could match what is sent in the HTTP header.
