> Microsoft move completely removed any possibility that publishers or advertisers could support it, basically killing the proposal. It is their fault. Do not expect to see anyone honoring it anytime soon.

Most advertisers that I read about who were also vocal against DNT said they would not honor it before Microsoft even made it a default. Quit kidding yourself that Microsoft's decision did anything but hasten its irrelevance.

It certainly didn't help either
It didn't really do jack squat. People weren't going to respect it anyway, so what Microsoft did couldn't possibly have changed their mind.
