> Not quite, the sender still doesn't get location and your browser fingerprint.

Yes, but the key question was about the open rate.

The statement:

> I thought Gmail's solution to this was to always download every image in your email and then proxy the image from their own servers when you view it. This results in a meaningless 100% "open rate" for Gmail

is incorrect because

a) GMail does not always download every image in your email

b) GMail does not have a 100% open rate.



You are right, but do not trust in Gmail, because they like to store your data on their servers!
