I came across this feature that enables the users to block those sites which secretly follow them through the web pages that they visited.Can anyone please explain me as to how it works and is it browser oriented or is it a part of the web ?

It's still being standardized, but it's a HTTP header to request a webservice to disable it's user tracking. Am not sure if it's already adopted somewhere.
