Do Not Track is a privacy feature in most modern browsers which when enabled signals websites you are visiting to not track your browsing activity and other data across the web. Once you enable the DNT feature, every time you visit a website or web service, your browser sends a DNT request header. Since this is a simple request from your browser, whether to honor it or not depends on the website you are visiting. In this tutorial, we’ll show the steps to enable ‘Do Not Track’ in both Edge and Chrome browsers. Let’s get started.
