Mozilla Adds Do-Not-Track Feature To Firefox 4 Pre-Beta Builds

Posted by Soulskill on from the hitting-the-ground-running dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla cranked out a new version of Firefox 4 (Beta 11-pre) that includes the proposed do-not-track feature. Both the nightly builds and latest trunk builds integrate the do-not-track feature. You could accuse Mozilla of wasting time with Firefox 4 beta-testing, but this feature certainly has surfaced fast."

  1. Not convincing until they solved the memory leak by francium+de+neobie · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I used FF4 b7 in my Mac for a while - whenever I closed it, I get half my system's memory (2GB) back, visible from Activity Monitor's pie chart. This thing eats more memory than a Windows 7 VM for opening a bunch of YouTube tabs, there's no way I'll go back until they fixed this.
