Why Doesn't Google Comply with Do Not Track?

I much rather remember DNT as an opportunity for the industry to regulate itself before browsers vendors were forced into taking the matter into their hands.

They of course blew that opportunity and will have to pay the price. We're already seeing apple and mozilla becoming very aggressive to prevent tracking and ads.

Of course, you are totally right. The future is for those companies and app vendors that respect privacy AND take good care of the personal information they have been giving, keeping them accurate and secure, not selling them around for the highest bidder.

TBH I wish Mozilla were taking a more agressive stance against ads and tracking.

It's nice that they've recently taken a stand, but they're still not taking it very seriously (only blocking "abusive" trackers, IIRC) and it's 5-10 years later than they should have done it.

Why aren't they sponsoring uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger?

Do you mean Google, the Industry? Or Google, the Browser Vendor?

I mean the internet tracking/ad industry in general.
