1. Select **Extensions (no fallback)** under _Default Cardano wallet_
2. Uncheck Enabled Sponsored Ads

Also, why there is no recommendation to enable Do Not Track? There are websites that actually respect this. So just because some don’t, we shouldn’t throw the baby with the bathwater.

The vast majority of sites do not respect it and you stand out more. If it was turned on by default for all Brave users then that’s fine but currently it is opt-in.

Side note: which websites respect it? I don’t think I’ve ever come across one (at least they’re not very loud about it).

[ecosia.org](http://ecosia.org) used to respect DnT however they stopped something like a year or two ago.

DnT is not recommended because its EoL, its superseded by GPC (Global privacy Control) which also has stronger legal backing, especially in some jurisdictions like California.

Firefox removed GPC for that reason as well. Brave already sends GPC by default.

Enabling DnT makes you slightly easier to fingerprint and has little privacy advantage.
