Firefox explicitly talks about abusing IMAGE caches and you’re waffling about JS. The two things are not related here so stop trying to conflate them.

- tremon 6y agoThe image caches offer no means to identify individual users unless you're able to re-parse the client side (cached) data. Guess what component is essential to perform that client-side parsing?
- scott_w 6y agoSo tracking pixels in email clients aren’t a thing? Trust me, people will find ways around it without JS. Reinventing Flash, for a start.
- yc12340 6y agoYes, tracking pixels aren't a thing (anymore). Gmail no longer loads them. Thunderbird no longer loads them. Most providers, offering online email, have already caught on. > Trust me, people will find ways around it without JS. Reinventing Flash, for a start. There is no need for that. Why bother, when you can write a mobile app in proper computer language and eliminate the middleman (browser)?
- scott_w 6y agoThe fact Flash existed disproves your hypothesis.
