Essentially no one respects DNT, and the browser explicitly telling
every website it doesn't want to be tracked makes you more likely to
actually be tracked [citation needed]. Besides, IceCat already comes
preconfigured with an extension that blocks trackers, so even if DNT
worked, there would be no point in enabling it because SpyBlock already
does the necessary work anyway.

Hello everyone,
I was wondering what was the policy about changing the default
configuration of IceCat?
There are 2 values that I feel should be set by default in future
releases.
1. privacy.donottrackheader.enabled = true
And to deal with sites that do not respect the 'do not track'
request, tracking protection should be enabled. It will block
tracking scripts client side.
2. privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = true

Thanks,
