Firefox isn’t the last browser to drop Do Not Track, but it’s a symbolic end to a long, sad campaign to claw back a little privacy.

It's not like it worked for shit.
It works in Geizhals.at (meaning "cheapskate", it's a price comparison website primarily for tech), where you get a short notification "We detected Do-Not-Track. Cookies are off."
It's what could have been the DSGVO/GDPR cookie banner, but website hosts chose to go another way.
It will work, but we need working regulations, like the (not ideal) cookie law in the EU.
But there is no will, means money are more important than people's privacy.
