Notably, the popular mainstream browsers haven't implemented this and so you need an add-on for it. Irritating.

For both Firefox and Brave, you don't need any add-ons or extensions.

For Firefox, you can enable GPC in `about:config`. You'll want to flip `privacy.globalprivacycontrol.functionality.enabled` and `privacy.globalprivacycontrol.enabled` both to `true`

For Brave, GPC is enabled by default.

You can test your browser by going to https://globalprivacycontrol.org. It'll tell you at the top of the page if you have GPC turned on.

Right, I didn't say all browsers, just the popular mainstream ones. Safari, Chrome of any kind, including Edge.

Depending on your country, FF counts as mainstream on Desktop. Hi from Germany ;)
