DNT, YES OR NO?

Does Not Track right now is popular and introduced by almost all the web browser companies. But does it really work? How many people really care and use it in their computer? How do those online advertisers flight with it?

Do Not Track means we do not want our online records or visit history be tracked or recorded. Many web browsers have introduced this function, such as IE, Safari, Chrome and Firefox. As described in the article of privacy activists face off with the online ad industry, congress introduced the Do Not Track Online Act on 2011, which inspired by the success of the national Do Not Call registry. But the truth is in the nearly two years since the legislation was introduced, not much has changed. While there might be broad agreement about how Do Not Track should be implemented, there is no consensus on what those who receive the header should (not) be required to do.

Personally I have heard about the DNT function, but I have never used it before. Right now I am using Explorer and Chrome on my laptop I do not use DNT on both of them. Yes I might sometimes feel those ads are creepy or ignoring, but I do not feel they are disturbing my life. Sometimes I even want to see some ads so that I know what those companies would recommend to me their new products. Those ads let me feel that I am on the track and I know all the new technologies which will make my life easier. I do not mind they recommend me things I might interest in because I have shopped on their websites before, but if they remember my web surfing record that will be too much. So right now even I have known more about the DNT, I still do not want to install it on either of my web browsers.
