The whole concept of DNT is just stupid. It's misleading users and won't work.

By telling users you have better privacy simply because your browser adds a random header tag onto requests you're misleading them. Sites have no obligation to obey it and it will give users a false sense of security.

We already have proven, well defined method of DNT already: private browsing. This works by simply removing resources after the session ends. There's no reliance on servers, so it will always work.
