January 24, 2011 at 11:05 am. Today it was announced. In the Wall Street Journal (among other places. The makers of the popular Firefox browser, were planning to add an opt out function to give users a “do not track” option on their personal data. In my view, Firefox is the iPhone of browsers, with the most extensive number of apps that can be added on to customize and increase its usefulness.].
