Extension summary

This extension is an email tracking blocker for Gmail - it blocks all email tracking pixels so preventing marketers and spammers from monitoring when you open emails and click on links, thereby protecting your email privacy and security.

Stop spammers & marketers dead! Anyone who's tracking your emails, will be sorely disappointed.

Do you know that almost all the emails you receive are tracked to see when you open them and when you click on the links in them?

With this email privacy protector, no one will ever be able to know when you opened your email, or have any information about any links that you clicked.

This extension will block email tracking attempts used to detect when you open and read emails. Email Privacy Protector displays an 'shields' when it finds and blocks a tracking attempt inside of an email.

How it works:

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Open an email in your Gmail.
  3. You will see a small shield icon in the left corner and the text "This email is being tracked".
  4. If you want to notify the sender that you have opened and read the email, hover over the "Tracking is blocked" text and click "Unblock".

I had no idea so many people were tracking their emails. I installed this in Gmail and use Apple Mail Privacy Protection on my iPhone, so I'm covered for email open tracking. However, I'm still searching for a solution to protect against link tracking - I guess that is a hard problem.
