I'm aware of the checkbox in the Pale Moon that controls it, though I keep it as-is (disabled), I doubt they can get anything interesting out my browser instance or rather they must know by now there's not much they can sell me.

How do you even enable it in Chromium-based browsers? From what little I looked, Brave has it built-in, but normally doesn't come with the browser. Firefox only has it in about:config unless something changed in recent versions.

In Firefox there is a switch in Settings - Privacy and Security.
In Chromium-based browsers you can enable GPC through some extensions.

With AdGuard Adblocker v.5.x there is equally an on/off switch.
If you use Privacy Badger GPC + DNT is enabled by default.

If you do not use the extensions above you can use this extension:

It is interesting to consider that in Firefox 135,DNT will be eliminated and only GPC will remain.

But currently if you enable only GPC, DNT is also enabled accordingly.
I am curious to see what will happen with Firefox 135.

Hm, on the technical side, there's not much difference.

Do you in Slovenia also suffer from the phenomenon of (wild) telemarketing through calls to smartphones?
In Italy these call centers hide under fake foreign phone numbers.

 My wife and I we have registered to a Public Opposition Register:

https://registrodelleopposizioni.it/

(a law that attempts to eliminate this Biblical plague).

But we have also blocked in our smartphones calls received from these foreign (fake) blacklisted phone numbers.

The calls have almost stopped.

So the GPC could be compared to the POR.
The blocking of foreign calls to the blocking of trackers.:)

I don't know how much of a problem it is here, just heard warning couple of times to not answer unknown foreign numbers. Personally, I haven't had the problem with them so far.
