<p>John Gruber over at <a href="https://daringfireball.net/2021/02/apple_mail_and_hidden_tracking_images" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daring Fireball[/url] has argued that <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/apple-mail/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Mail[/url] should block tracking pixels in emails. I agree 100%. This seems to me to be a much-needed feature that would be completely in line with Apple’s strong <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/privacy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">privacy[/url] stance.</p>
<p>For anyone not familiar with email tracking pixels, these are usually links to single-pixel images hidden inside HTML emails. They are usually either transparent, or part of an email graphic in the footer, so they are invisible to the user…</p>
