Re:Just like other browsers

I would prefer to not have to find this setting and turn it on every time I do a clean OS install - and yes it happens a lot when you work in IT setting up PC's for new Users. The fact that it is on by default in IE is great for users, obviously not good for the likes of advertisers who have said they will ignore the setting from IE. Google are obviously not going to have this enabled by default because tracking you is what they do best.

DNT: Now only the bad guys will track you.

So now the *good* guys will no longer track you. I don't get the logic.

If you were serious, you could use one of a million extensions for it. It's not as though updating chrome ever really breaks extensions.

But you weren't being serious. You were just being spiteful by showing your negativity towards a browser you don't have any intention of using.

Um, actually they are following industry standards, as much as I hate to say it. IE turns it on automatically which is against industry standards (and basically makes it useless because buissness will only follow it if a minority of users are using it, they can't afford to do otherwise).
