Gmail Sender Icons is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you quickly identify email senders in Gmail without opening each message. It adds the sender's company domain and official favicon right beside each email, allowing for immediate visual recognition. For example, emails from larry@google.com are labeled with "google.com" plus Google's logo, making inbox management more efficient.

Featured on Product Hunt, LifeHacker, and The Next Web, this extension integrates smoothly with Gmail, including search results. It uses Google's S2 service to fetch favicons and processes email data locally via the Inbox SDK, ensuring your information remains private and secure. Completely open-source and available on GitHub, Gmail Sender Icons enhances your email experience with quick, visual sender identification.

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