   I always agree with any sensibly stated viewpoint, where I must also agree   
   with you that most people probably have no idea they can opt out of   
   tracking.   
      
   Worse, even we geeky people don't necessarily realize there are different   
   ways to opt out of each database, even as most use "_nomap" but not all.   
      
   For example, Microsoft & Qualcomm force us to give them our BSSID just to   
   opt out!   
       
       
      
   The horrid thing is nobody but Mozilla (whom I'm in contact with   
   separately) tells us what their policy is for hidden SSID optouts.
