Microsoft, Apache Square Off Over Privacy Settings | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Wired | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Apache, the most common server on the web, is giving Microsoftfs Internet Explorer 10 a privacy smackdown. A newly submitted patch tells Apache to ignore IE 10Œs controversial Do Not Track (DNT) settings. The Do Not Track header is a proposed web standard for browsers to tell servers that the user does not want to be tracked by advertisers. When IE 10 is officially released, DNT will be supported by all the major web browsers (except Google Chrome), but only Microsoft has elected to turn on DNT by default. That means that all IE 10 users will be telling advertisers to back off, which some argue is not what DNT was intended to do. | ||
