Features & Capabilities

Unread Badge for Gmail™ puts your unread mail count directly on the Firefox toolbar. No popup, no dashboard, no sign-in flow - just a number that updates in the background, and a click that opens Gmail.

How it works The extension reads Gmail's own unread-count feed using the Gmail session you're already signed into. There is no OAuth flow, no API key, and no account setup. If you're signed into Gmail in Firefox, it works.

Multiple accounts If you're signed into several Gmail accounts, the badge reflects the total across them.

What it does not do No analytics. No telemetry. No tracking pixels. No third-party servers. The extension talks to Google and to nothing else. Message content is parsed only to count unread items and is discarded immediately- nothing is stored and nothing is transmitted anywhere beyond the request to Google that your browser was already authorized to make.

Permissions The extension requests only the access needed to fetch the unread feed and update the toolbar badge.

Is Unread Badge for Gmail™ Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Unread Badge for Gmail™ does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Unread Badge for Gmail™ is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
