Microsoft
announced that their browser, Internet Explorer 10 will be the first browser to
feature the Do Not Track as a default option. Do Not Track is a feature that
allows users to stop sites that use cookies to collect information like
browsing habits of users.
Chief Privacy Officer, Microsoft, Brendon
Lynch said,'' We made this decision because we believe that consumers should
have control over much of the information about how the habit of scouring the
internet using their own browser tracked, distributed and used. '' Although not
a default option, set it in your Firefox browser easily activated (Tools -
Privacy,'' Tell check the websites I do not want to be tracked''), but only
works on the site that actually implement it explicitly.
Yahoo and AOL so far have used it, but Twitter
is the first social networking giant is using it, while Facebook has not. In
IE9, Safari above 5.1, Opera already above 12, while Google Chrome has not been
and will be followed later this year.
