What E-Mail clients are those? Both I use (Outlook for work, Fastmail privately) do exactly that, and neither of those are small. The only one I know that’s different is GMail, but well, Google and Privacy.
- csunbird 6y agoAs far as I know, GMail actually downloads the image as soon as the mail arrives on their servers, accomplishing the “making tracking useless” task in another way.
- iamacyborg 6y agoThis is not correct. Gmail's cache certainly obfuscates some data, such as the IP, but email pixels will still tell you when an email was opened and by who.
