Summary

This extension is designed to stop your browser from downloading the most common tracking pixels from email apps. Specifically, it focuses on blocking email apps that provide instant "read receipt" functionality to the sender.

Email is an asynchronous communication tool. Instant read receipt notifications create artificial social pressure to respond to a message immediately after you read it for the first time. This extension avoids that bad user experience.

"Hey, I saw that you opened my email. Why haven't you responded yet...?"

Safety
Risk impact

TrackBreaker is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install TrackBreaker if you trust the publisher.

Risk likelihood

TrackBreaker may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
