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

Would I need a feature that allows me to give control to a third party when I can have the control myself. NoScript Adblock flashblock BetterPrivacy and other plugin tools allow me to get the service I want. I choose to support them.
