Firefox has enhanced its existing "Do Not Track" option with a new "Tracking Protection" feature.

Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), Panda DOME 20, MBAM4 Pro, Windows Firewall, OpenDNS Family Shield, SpywareBlaster, MVPS HOSTS file, MBAE Premium, MCShield, WinPatrol PLUS, SAS (on-demand scanner), Zemana AntiLogger Free, Microsoft EDGE, Firefox, Pale Moon, uBlock Origin, CryptoPrevent.

[I believe computer-users who sandbox (Sandboxie) are acting prudently.]

Notice that this new FF feature isn't on by default, which is the way MS is going to handle the issue too.

That's not good for users who barely know about setting passwords, and never change any default software settings. The trackers and hackers will have a feeding frenzy.
