About

Take back your inbox privacy with Gmail Tracker Shield – the simple extension that protects you from hidden tracking pixels and invasive email links.

✨ Features

Block hidden trackers: Stops 1×1 tracking images and spy pixels from loading.
Clean your links: Strips out utm_*, gclid, fbclid, mc_eid, and dozens of other tracking parameters.
Detect Gmail’s proxy tricks: Identifies original image sources hidden behind googleusercontent.com.
Block known tracker domains: Stops requests to Mailchimp, SendGrid, Mandrill, SparkPost, Yesware, and more.
Lightweight & secure: Uses Chrome’s built-in Declarative Net Request API (MV3 compliant) – no background snooping.
Control at a glance: Popup shows counters for sanitized links and hidden pixels, with a one-click enable/disable toggle.

Customizable: Add or edit blocklist patterns in the Options page to fine-tune protection.

🔒 Why it matters
Every time you open an email, marketers and trackers can secretly learn:
When you opened it
Where you were
What device you used

Gmail Tracker Shield cuts off that surveillance, giving you peace of mind and a private inbox.
