Variants of "pixel trackers" still work fine on Gmail despite this. To this day a lot of marketing, recruiters and others are tracking when you open their message on Gmail.

How are these variants working? Curious about how they are getting around google hitting all of them.

I assume Google doesn't request the image until the email is opened.

Even with images disabled?

[jiaweihli]

No, disabling images breaks pixel tracking. One way to quickly sanity check a mail client's priorities is whether it gives you the option to disable images by default.

Some clients that don't allow you to disable by default: Polymail, Gmail on iOS, Inbox (Google) on IOS

If it's free, you're the product...

Ha I thought you were wrong, but it turns out that indeed, you can disable image loading in the Gmail Web interface, in the Android app, but not on iOS: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/145919?co=GENIE.Platf...
