The Do Not Track feature will be deleted from the Safari browser
Apple has long integrated the Do Not Track feature into the Safari browser. But in fact this feature is not only not useful for users but also a security hole that needs to be fixed.
Apple has long integrated the "Do Not Track" feature - no tracking, into Safari. But in fact this feature is not only not useful for users but also a security hole that needs to be overcome. Therefore, this feature will be removed from Apple Safari browser.
In theory, the "Do Not Track" feature allows users to send invisible requests to websites that are not tracked by advertising agencies, making them not the target of advertising campaigns. However, this feature is not effective. According to reports by Gizmodo, no website has made the request of the user and the government does not expect it to happen.
Not only useless, even Do Not Track can be used by advertisers to become a user monitoring tool. Therefore, this feature is considered by Apple as a security vulnerability that needs to be fixed to ensure information security for users. In the Safari update description on iOS 12.2, Apple blocked this feature and it will also be removed from Safari in macOS version 10.14.4 and replaced with a new feature, Intelligent Tracking Prevention.
