en Was good, but unfortunately no longer updated or supported. I've just found Email Privacy Protector which seems to better anyway.

en Great app, and one of the few where the developer makes an honest effort to update it. Highly recommend it.

en Images are back when authorized, but the 'eye' icon is still not displayed. Please fix this. Thank you very much. (In the meantime, I grant this extension five stars, as it is a useful one when working properly.) March 11: I'm downgrading by two stars since the extension has been blocking all images again for several days ― having lost time looking for the problem elsewhere before realizing that it was simply here. March 12 : Thank you for getting it 'up and running' again!
