For people who doesn’t have the time/skills/energy to do what you described but still want to avoid being tracked, somewhat care about privacy and using email with less distractions.
- wazoox 6y agoEnergy of not using a webmail? IIRC Thunderbird as well as most other email clients don't download remote images by default.
- lucasfdacunha 6y agoDude, don't assume that everybody is like you. Reading emails on text mode and blocking pixels with some kind of email client is something that only a few people that use email do. You're probably tech-savvy (and also the people that you interact with probably are), that eliminates almost the majority of people that use email. The average web/internet user is dumb, really dumb. The easier for them to do something, the better.
- kyawzazaw 6y agomost people I know don't even bother downloading an email client and these range from a lot of office professionals to professors to students. a lot of people just don't bother setting up their email settings to block image downloads or read in text only or etc
