Description from store
Gmail Sender Icons is a Google Chrome extension that makes it easy for you to quickly and visually identify email senders in Gmail. It shows the company domain name of the email sender and the official logo (favicon) of the sender's organization alongside the email message.
For instance, if you receive an email from [email protected], the Gmail extension will add a virtual label google.com to your email message and also a logo of the Google website next to the message so you can immediately identify the sender in the email list.
Gmail Sender Icons has been featured on Product Hunt, LifeHacker, The Next Web and host of popular websites.
The favicons and the sender's domain are visible across Gmail including search results. The sender's label is applied virtually and the actual labels of the email message are left unchanged.
The Gmail Chrome extension uses the Google S2 service for generating the website's favicon while the Gmail messages are parsed with the Inbox SDK framework. All processing is done locally in your browser and no Gmail data is ever shared or uploaded anywhere.
The add-on is open source and the code is available on Github.

- Pretty neat, but there should be the option to hide the chip for certain domains. For example, if someone with a Yahoo address emails you, you get the Yahoo logo even though you're not emailing Yahoo itself.

- I've been using this extension for so long that I often forget it's not a baked-in feature of Gmail. It helps me quickly scan through my Spam messages to see if there are any obvious miscategorizations, and on more than one occasion has been the very first red flag indicating an account impersonation or whaling attempt. It's also helpful professionally in an industry where I deal with sales representatives constantly and there seems to be a regular shuffling of who is now with which company.

- It's a cool extension. I'd wish it had the option to change the labels' colours.

- Hello Amit Agarwal, I've used your extension for the past year and it really helps me to quickly skim my inbox for items of importance, and also as an authenticator check of the sender domain. I have ADHD and am a visual processor of information, vs text, and so the icon-only mode is very helpful. Have you considered allowing for user selection of which column the favicons display in? For example, I would like to see how it would look if the icons displayed in the column to the right of "importance Indicators", and to the left of the SENDER FIELD? Thank you!

- This plugin works great for me and helps me keep track of conversations when the subject line is unhelpful. The only improvement I would wish to see is the ability to blacklist a domain (for example my company's domain) and to include the domain of the other people on the thread instead.

- Excelente extensión. Elimina la labor de poner manualmente las etiquetas a los correos entrantes.

- This is a very useful extension to get a quick glance of the senders without reading the message's title at all. Really saves a lot of time. But unfortunately this extension makes Gmail consume awfully lot of CPU and RAM on relatively low-end computers. My CPU constantly spikes at 100% usage while I have this extension enabled, and I feel that all those consumed CPU cycles are not really necessary for a relatively simple function like this. So all in all it's a great convenience I'd say but it's kinda pity that it uses so much system resources. I hope you 'll be able to fix this critical issue in the future. If that happens, I'll be sure to update my review and give the extension 5 stars instead :)

- Excellent extension that provides constant value. I can immediately know if the email is from a known source. Google spam filter is great but when something falls through the cracks, by looking at the icon/sender I know it is spam. Excellent extension and highly recommended
