Firefox is set to join the growing number of web browsers that are adding a “do not sell my personal data” signal referred to as global privacy control (GPC).
GPC is implemented as a browser setting that sends a signal to notify websites of the visitor’s privacy preferences, including whether they want their personal information to be sold or shared.
“At this moment, GPC is a prerelease feature available for experimental use in Firefox Nightly. Once turned on, it sends a signal to the websites users visit telling them that the user doesn’t want to be tracked and doesn’t want their data to be sold,” explained Mozilla.
