Bananatag, Mailtrack are two examples of these tracking programs i am aware of.
Does NoScript stop these invisible embedded pixel based snoopers from activating and phoning home with there ill gotten gains.
For reference i use Firefox and Gmail as my mail and browse solutions and at present and as far as i am aware there are no addons to prevent this.
Chrome does have the Pixelblock addon which apparently works.

I also run Ghostery and have asked the question whether this program blocks these invasive little trackers but at present they do not.

I included links to an article over on Wired discussing the issue along with an example script from Google of a snooper at play.

I seem to recall I tried an email privacy test with Gmail webmail a while ago and nothing showed as having leaked...

Anyway NoScript won't block that kind of thing by default but since it's a concern and you use webmail, you can block with ABE:
NoScript Options > Advanced > ABE > USER see ABE Rules .pdf for more details

Many thanks for the support.

I will add this rule to NoScript and as a result i will certainly look more closely into some of the programs more advanced features, though i have been very impressed so far having been using it to great effect these past couple of years.
Keep up the great work guys

It's just an example to show you the syntax... you replace what's written after "Site" with the real domains of trackers you're worried about and possibly a generic regexp or two matching tracking pixel URLs.
