Issue Details

The Do Not Track feature is not respected by most websites and in fact often it is used for the purpose of tracking.
Firefox in version 135 removed it from their browser for this reason. Apple removed it from Safari in 2019.

Proposed solution

The Ask websites not to track you feature should only support Global Privacy Control.

Alternative solution

This should be done not just for the AdGuard Extension but also for all AdGuard products like AdGuard for Windows, AdGuard for Android and so on.
