‎MailTrackerBlocker Mail Extension app

[aa47]

Hello everyone, just released the official MailTrackerBlocker app for Apple Mail. This is an alternative to Mail Privacy Protection which doesn't label trackers nor does it work in certain network environments like VPNs.

MailTrackerBlocker is a tracker blocker for Mail. Email marketers and other interests often embed invisible trackers in HTML emails so they can track how often, when and where you open your emails. Enable the included Mail extension to find out who is tracking you and to block spy pixels from your emails.

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mailtrackerblocker/id6450760473

Requires: macOS 13 or newer

For Apple Mail users only (there are Chrome alternatives for web-based email)

Is this the same as https://github.com/apparition47/MailTrackerBlocker?

On the support site it says:

On macOS 12, the default Mail Privacy Protection is highly recommended over MailTrackerBlocker for more comprehensive privacy guards.

So what in Ventura makes MailTrackerBlocker recommended over Mail Privacy Protection?

I've been using MailTrackerBlocker because I get a ton of these errors in Mail. For whatever reason, Mail Privacy Protection fails all the time and the only option it gives you is to just load the images (and trackers) manually while MailTrackerBlocker stays functional. I'm not running a VPN or anything, so I don't know why exactly MPP is not working, but this solves it.
