Block more trackers

I think blocking email trackers is a public service so I'm sharing the list of over 170 trackers blocked by Simplify Gmail: https://gist.github.com/leggett/8c2ab9735037cb66c218fdbe898ddf68
I think Trocker blocks all 1x1 and 0x0 size images, so this may not be as important. But sharing just in case. Let me know if you think I'm missing any.

You are correct. For Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo, Trocker does block all suspicious tiny (e.g. 1x1px) images regardless their url. But Trocker also has a block list just for more reliability and for blocking trackers in other webmails that don't have customized Trocker support like Gmail does. For those, expanding the block list will be helpful and your list can definitely help with that. Thanks for sharing!

FYI: I moved this my code to an actual repository:

@trockerapp I was going to open a PR to update your tracker lists.js but I'm not confident in the JSON formatting; I'll keep working on it but you may be able to put all these domains in the right format much faster. Here's two lists I found of some tracking link patterns (some of which are undoubtedly already on your list but some are definitely new).
