Recently Privacy Badger by EFF added a way for sites to detect if the user has it installed https://www.eff.org/gpc-privacy-badger


DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials implement GPC as well, not sure about any other extensions. So ideally it won’t be usable to recognize Privacy Badger, rather a comparably large group of users of privacy solutions. Ideally of course this would be adopted by browsers eventually. Not saying that this necessarily makes it a good idea, we’ll have to see whether this will do more good than DNT.
