It would be great if the WKWebView had an option to enable the DNT header. Either globally or per WKWebView.

As Brady mentioned, support for Do Not Track was removed in Safari on iOS 13 and macOS 10.14. It’s also a failed standard that no major websites supported. <https://twitter.com/bradeeoh/status/1211535779748405250>

Probably the best path forward for this would be a general feature to let WKWebView clients add custom headers. I don't think we'd resurrect built-in DNT support. Also I wouldn't recommend browsers implementing it.

Apologies for the confusion, this was not a request to introduce DNT back into Safari. It is only a request to allow third-party browsers (like Firefox in this case) to make an independent decision to enable this header in the WKWebView. A general feature to let WKWebView users set arbitrary headers sounds like a great solution. As long as these custom headers are not just sent for the main frame. They would have to go to resource on the page.
