Gmail Sender Icons

Quickly identify the sender of email messages in Gmail without opening the message.

Gmail Sender Icons

Gmail Sender Icons is a Chrome extension that empowers users to quickly identify email senders without opening messages. By displaying the sender's company domain and favicon next to each email, it simplifies email management in your Gmail inbox. Each email from a sender, like larry@google.com, will be accompanied by a virtual label (e.g., google.com) and the corresponding logo, enabling instant recognition.

This extension works seamlessly with Gmail across the board, including search results, and doesn’t alter your email’s actual labels. Utilizing the Google S2 service and the Inbox SDK framework, all processing occurs locally in the browser, ensuring your data remains private and secure. The open-source project is also hosted on GitHub, encouraging community collaboration and transparency.

It's a cool extension. I'd wish it had the option to change the labels' colours.

Excellent!
