I don't want google to know that I clicked on the link. That is sensitive.

Switch to an email provider that doesn't want to track you. You can be on Fastmail in an hour if you have your own domain.

protonmail did the oddest thing to me the other day. It sent an email to my gmail account to inform me that I had received an email at my protonmail address. I was stunned. The main point of having the protonmail account was to keep google out of my business.

Now I have to find a provider that doesn't leak in the dumbest of ways.

In protonmail, Settings → Daily email notifications → Disabled. No, I don't understand why that isn't the default setting either.

Yes. The email protonmail sent to my gmail account informed me of this lovely default. One email too late.

I have used fastmail for ~10 years. However google still has far too many ways to track me.

Why are you worried about GMail's outgoing links if you're using Fastmail?

[bluGill]

Gmail is not the only place where outgoing links get this treatment. Random websites do it too once in a while.

Use a mail client like Thunderbird.
