Thunderbird’s addon store is very lacking to compare to Firefox. Are there even technical limitations to this if Thunderbird use Firefox / Gecko under the hood?

    Thunderbird does that by default. As long as you don’t enable downloading of external resources, trackers are blocked.

        Trackers are basically embedded images in the email. If the image gets downloaded by your client, they can track if the email was opened. If you simply don’t download images, there’s no tracking.

        Browsers work very different than mails :)

        In Mails normally you get the content you want sent. Tracking only happens if the content is not sent, but needs to be downloaded from within the app. Then the servers can see you got the mail.
