Please implement something similar to PixelBlock or UgleEmail in brave shields. I have noticed that Brave does not block email trackers, and would like to see this implimented
We actually do block email tracking by default. If there is a mailing list you’re seeing tracking pixels let me know.
streak still works even with brave
same with mailspring, marketo, salesforce, mailchimp, and sendgrid
The less extensions needed the better, also avoid potential false positives.

I subscribe to a daily e-mail digest that lists news articles which appear on a web site — but the links in the e-mail don’t take me directly to the news site, instead they point to a tracker domain, for example:
https: // [publisher-account-name]. {us10}. list-manage.com /track/click? u=[user name] &id=[article number] &e=[email address]
Can anything be done about that? (At minimum, it would be good to intercept these links and explain to the user what is happening.)
Link to the mailing list, wanting to subscribe to check
Sure, but I would rather not inform the publisher that I am trying to bypass his link tracking because he is also using it for targeted censorship of article commenters. Is there any way to send a private message on this forum?
Try DM’ing me via twitter on @fanboynz
Twitter says:
“You cannot message this user because you are not verified.”
— Is it possible that you have allow direct message requests set to verified users instead of everyone ?
Oops, changed. I thought it was set to everyone
I have never used Twitter before this conversation, because they always demanded a phone number, and I am unwilling to share that. So I created a new Twitter account just to correspond with you, and this time it allowed me to do so without a phone number. I then sent the information that you requested by P.M. — but now I cannot log in to check for replies because Twitter no longer accepts my e-mail address: it is now demanding the pseudo-random user name that Twitter generated for me — and I did not save that in my password manager because Twitter never told me when I created the account that I was going to need it to login later. I see this error message about “unusual activity” but I have not used the account for any other purpose than what I have just described here.
When you register for any online service, the server typically uses the credentials that you provide, so it was totally unexpected when Twitter decided to start demanding different credentials than the ones that I used to create the account. I am not angry, but I think this is absurd, so I want to make it perfectly clear that Twitter is impractical and inappropriate for tech support applications. The correct solution is to enable direct messaging here. That said, I am curious what your assessment is, and whether you think that something can be done to address this MailChimp link-tracking surveillance.
