    How does the tracker blocking work? It blocks remote content by default, but does it block tracking pixels when I load images? I also installed the ublock origin addon, but it keeps saying that it didn’t block anything

      By not downloading anything except text and Html the sender can’t tell whether you opened it or not. However, pressing tracked links will track you if you don’t have some privacy thingy on your browser.
