Do you know which ones track their users and which don't?

Hi Josef, I'm not sure as I didn't check. Most newsletters, in general, do track opening rates as for as I know. In some cases, they track also which links you clicked. It depends on the email distribution platform that they use.

Yes, but nowadays I have trouble with that. Nobody should be able to determine my time and location at the time I read my email. It's my privacy.

I wish there is Hey.com lite - a cheap service that opens the newsletters for you.

I agree. It's annoying. Have you tried daily.dev? In case you use the Firefox browser (which I believe you do if you care about privacy✌🏼), then you can disable the analytics there and it won't track you at all. That way you can both get a relevant stream of DevOps news without compromising on your privacy. If you need my help in onboarding and customizing it let me know. I'd love to help.
