Xan:

I think of Liferea and Evolution for example. Basically everything that includes GtkHTML, Webkit or Gecko and goes to the Internet to retrieve pages are parts of pages. The border between browsers and other applications is disappearing so it would make sense for me to make it a general setting.

Hib:

it’s not enabled by default right now, since at usual I think it’s safer to err on the side of caution with new features that might interfere with web content. Firefox also does not enable DNT by default.

That being said, the feature is visibly exposed in the UI, so I think those interested won’t have many troubles enabling it. At some point in the future it might make sense to change the default to enabled, and I’ll be happy to do so.

Hans:

what other applications do you have in mind that could re-use this setting?

I wonder why this is being done on application level and not as a setting for GNOME OS so every application can reuse the setting. Just one tick in Control Panel somewhere and be done?

Will this do-not-treak feature be enabled by default in Epiphany? I sure hope so!

Suh-weet!

The one thing I find more awesome than having this problem solved is having this problem solved by someone from my alma mater. Hook ‘em Horns and thank you William!!

@Pingouin_Magique: no, Accelerated Compositing also works in WebKit1.

@Elessar: well, you the URL entry offers the same search functionality other browsers provide in a different bar, but whatever works for you.
