As the article says, &#8220;Do-not-track tools in browsers automatically send out messages to websites and online-advertising networks requesting that users&#8217; movements around the Web not be tracked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We initially reported on this in January, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/mozilla-proposes-do-not-track-browser-packet-headers\/\">Mozilla proposed such a solution<\/a>, then again when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/google-gets-into-the-do-not-track-business\/\">Google joined the club<\/a>. It&#8217;s clear that this feature is going to impose itself, as Microsoft also offers it in the latest version of Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n<p>Whether web sites will respect this feature or not is another story. It&#8217;s in the interests of many to ignore it, but the Wall Street Journal mentions that &#8220;Rep. Cliff Stearns (R, Fla.) introduced privacy legislation that would encourage companies to offer more information to consumers about how they are being tracked,&#8221; so this non-tracking feature may end up being useful, at least for those web sites hosted in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple has added a &#8220;do-not-track&#8221; feature to the version of the company&#8217;s Safari web browser included in the latest developer release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
