User reviews

Unlike the OG PixelBlock extension, there's no privacy disclosure. No way to know if my email data are being sold. Going back to the original until this is rectified

I agree it needs a quick toggle and some more advanced settings (e.g. allowing images from certain domains) so it doesn't block all images (often images in emails are important content). Whether the improved privacy is worth the hassle of disabling and reloading is personal preference; for me it's not, until the extension has finer controls.
