The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), privacy company Disconnect and a coalition of Internet companies have announced a stronger "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting for Web browsing—a new policy standard that, coupled with privacy software, will better protect users from sites that try to secretly follow and record their Internet activity, and incentivize advertisers and data collection companies to respect a user's choice not to be tracked online.

The new DNT standard is not an ad- or tracker-blocker, but it works in tandem with these technologies.

    One should strive to achieve, not sit in bitter regret.

    Thanks funny, too, since it makes a reference to your post... but I really thought you'd maybe say woosh and explain how PT Barnum had a saying.
