Stopping email trackers in Gmail: What Works?

3•jacopo_beschi•2h ago
I’m looking for a browser extension that really stops email tracking inside Gmail.

Ideally, I want something that:

- Works reliably in Gmail’s web interface - Blocks tracking pixels and redirects - Doesn’t leak any data to third parties

I’ve been experimenting with this problem myself and I built a small extension called gblock (https://gblock.app ) that hides tracking pixels and neutralizes tracking links. I’m the developer, so I want to be up-front about that. I’m not here to promote it, I’m genuinely curious about what others use, what actually works, and what issues you’ve run into (false positives, performance, Gmail UI breakage, etc.).

If you’ve tested different approaches or have insights into how modern trackers evade detection, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
