Do Not Track (DNT) Enabler Extension

This extension is intended for deployment in organisations that wish to enable DNT (as DNT: 1) by force, but can't because this is not possible via a policy. Instead, forcibly installing this extension via a policy will enable DNT by force.


CAVEATS

It's possible for any other installed extension to override this one (potentially altering the DNT setting). This can be mitigated by white listing extensions.
