I'm too ridiculously busy with school and other stuff. Anyone heard of this? Legit?

Seems legit. Got featured on Mozillas addon page. Does more or less the same thing as the Ghostery addon that I've been running for a while. I read a comparison (http://www.digitaltrends.com/web/do-not-track-plus-vs-ghostery/) between them, seems like you can pick one or the other. Though DNT+ seems to block the trackers by default, Ghostery can be set to do that too but its not the default behavior.

AVG has a Do Not Track that integrates right into the browser as well.
