 Tor Browser users all share the same browser profile and settings. If
 anyone enables DNT by themselves they make fingerprinting easier.

 Tor users want privacy and anonymity. It is a statement, opinion and a
 behavior.

 Do Not Track does not provide any more privacy - it is simply a statement.
 So why not state DNT?

 The more users use DNT, the more the big companies will know what is up.
 Who they already fu**ed up, and who uses DNT.

 You can make a change. Activate DNT by default. If it is activated in the
 next Torbrowser version for everyone by default, there is no disadvantage
 for anyone. It's just a statement. And all users will agree on the DNT
 privacy statement.
