Summary

Creep Alert is the Chrome extension for Gmail that gives you an alert when someone tries to track you via email. It also blocks read-receipts and hidden tracking pixels.

HOW IT WORKS: When a tracker is detected, it blocks it and shows an alert icon next to the sender's name. By clicking the alert icon, you will also be able to send a prewritten and polite response to the sender, informing them that you are not ok with being tracked.
