Mozilla Implements Do Not Track for Mobile Devices Via Boot to Gecko

As the privacy and tracking debate rages in the desktop arena, Mozilla has made a jump to the mobile world by announcing its new Boot to Gecko project, which will include an implementation of the Do Not Track technology on mobile devices. This is the first such implementation and it will give users the ability to tell mobile sites that they don't want to be tracked persistently while using the Web from their phones.

Boot to Gecko is Mozilla's effort to create an open and open-source operating system designed for the Web. It will be built on a Linux kernel and include a variety of new Web APIs that will expose a given device's capabilities to applications. This effort is in direct contrast to the proprietary models of vendors such as Apple and Microsoft whose models rely on closed-source operating systems and app stores.
