Description from extension meta

This extension is an email Tracker Blocker, hence the name: Trocker!

Image from store Trocker
Description from store Tracking your emails to know if the receiver has opened them or not is awesome, so is being immune to it! Trocker gives you the latter! It blocks attempts by email trackers and won't let them track what you do with the emails you receive. You will be amazed to see how many of the emails you receive have trackers in them! If you have any issues with Trocker, email us at [email protected] or report the issue on GitHub (https://github.com/trockerapp/trocker/issues). Thanks for reporting issues. Given that Trocker needs to react to any breaking changes in webmails, we may not know about new issues unless you report them. Also, please consider giving us a chance to fix the issues before leaving a bad rating/review. And follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/trockerapp More information: You can trust Trocker! Trocker runs locally on your machine and does not send or receive any information from the Internet. It needs permission to all tabs in order to be able to detect and prevent any tracking images or tracked links from being loaded from any of the tabs. But it makes absolutely no outbound Internet access and we neither gather nor use any data about you or your browsing behavior. Trocker is also open source with the source code available at https://github.com/trockerapp/trocker and we encourage everyone to check it out from there or from Chrome Dev tools to confirm that there are no suspicious activities being done. Trocker keeps you safe in all webmails, including Gmail™, Yahoo! and Outlook.com. It has additional capabilities in Gmail, Inbox and Outlook.com. In these 3 webmails, it has a heuristic tracker detection that detects and blocks almost any email tracking attempt, even from not well-known trackers! Trocker is very efficient as it only gets activated when a tracker is detected. Technical details: Some email trackers track emails by injecting an invisible small image in the mail that is hosted in a specific address in their server. They know when the email is opened by looking at the download requests of the injected images on their servers. Trocker stops this by simply blocking those image links from being loaded. Trocker finds those tracking images based on their url or size. Moreover, some links are click tracked meaning that if you click on them, your clicks are logged and tracked. Trocker tries to bypass those links and redirect you directly to the original target without you being tracked. If not possible, Trocker tries to inform you that the link you've clicked on is tracked.

  • (2023-07-06) מאקרו vba: Works great, it's just not clear to me what can be done if I do want certain emails to be tracked.
  • (2022-10-28) DaveinDallas: Used for quite a while now. Amazed at how many tracked images were in my email on a daily basis....
  • (2022-09-30) Rupe B: Excellent tracker blocker.....thanks guys.
  • (2022-05-15) Philip Charms: Trackers, trackers everywhere.... Thank you for this extension!
  • (2021-08-21) Marek P: Brilliant! Works like a charm. After a while 99% of people seeing no interaction with their emails will stop sending them to you. No need to click the 'unsubscribe'. LMAO !!! I was shocked to see how emails are tracked. Thank you developer!!
  • (2021-08-21) 현준환: it works!!!! Thank you!
  • (2021-06-07) Alexander Tin: Relieved to find an extension that works on a non-Gmail client that I have to use for work, Outlook web mail. Thank you!
  • (2021-05-26) m v: It does seem to work fine. Sadly, there is apparently no way to whitelist particular emailservers which do use beacons (since I guess the recognition is of the beacon itself), but which I do not care if they track me (Nature.Com, for example). The best workaround I have found is to set the display time of the redirect notice (under 'advanced') to 2 seconds - long enough so I can decide if I want to go to a tracked link.
  • (2021-02-20) R: Didn't do a thing. I wish I could say it was wonderful, because I really wanted it to work, but nada. I downloaded it to Chrome and checked my inboxes. I've got a full spam folder and I know there are trackers on all of them. Trocker didn't flag any of them. I went into the inbox and to the trash where I know I've got advertising emails with trackers/web beacons in them. Not a single thing was flagged. I closed and reopened Chrome. Same result. All that has happened is that now I can't access my wifi router interface, so I will be uninstalling.
  • (2020-09-25) Tommy H: love it and it works on gsuite but can you also add the T logo on inbox for us to know we're being track without we click the email please? thanks
  • (2020-01-20) Dave from Oregon: Works great and their support has responded to questions I've had promptly. Great stuff - I'd never heard of pixel trackers until I read an article and it recommended Trocker. I'm amazed how many emails use them. I also now like to look at the code within the HTML email just to see where the info is getting sent - quite often Google Analytics (they are now a $1 Trillion firm, thanks to tracking and selling our information). Highly recommended.
  • (2020-01-14) Francesco Basile: Hello would be perfect if there was a function to read the names of the traker blocked
  • (2019-07-23) Kevin Conroy: I see that its working fine with gmail.com but im not getting the same results with outlook.com any ideas?
  • (2019-05-07) Shannon S.: Despite saying it does, it doesn't work on Yahoo Mail.
  • (2019-01-11) Bogdan Hlevca: Good to see who is monitoring your moves
  • (2017-08-23) Farrah Falco-Heytow: Absolutely brilliant. Works beautifully! Thank you!!!!
  • (2017-08-20) Bryan Larkin: Lightweight and works perfectly..
  • (2017-02-18) Griffin Parker: Using this an Bananatag is going to be funny. Bananatag is an email tracking extension, and you can also schedule emails and recurring emails.
  • (2016-02-18) Soroush Arabshahi: Well done...
  • (2015-01-02) Excellent way to counterattack your trackers!

    As of yesterday, none of the images are loading in Gmail (which has never been an issue until now). After disabling Trocker, they all load again. Is there something that changed recently?

  • (2021-05-19, v:2.6.12) Rezwan Haque: Incompatibility of this extension with email trackers extension for the same user
    Hi, I started to use this great extension and a non-techy guy. But, I myself also use email tracker. My questions is: does this (Trocker) extension blocks the tracking capability of the emails I send!?! If so, is there any exception/settings I can make to not get blocked by Trocker but still blocks the tracking of the email I get/receive? Thanks!
  • (2021-01-04, v:2.6.8) Jamie Villanueva: block notifications
    about a few weeks ago, trocker stopped notifying me via small popup that email tracker blocked a tracker. any thoughts? any chrome apps that may interfere with trocker? Thanks! Great app by the way.
  • (2020-11-04, v:2.6.8) Luke: Does this work with outbound email trackers?
    Can you use this extension to block received email trackers while still using an outbound email tracker such as Unlimited Email Tracker?

    Hi! Does it work with Outlook 365 under outlook.office.com address? Thanks.

  • (2018-09-11, v:2.3.3) Brian Pilnick: Contact Icons Broken
    I love that Trocker works in Google Inbox but I've found that it is breaking contact icons. It seems to only affect the default letter icons that appear if someone doesn't have an image set. It's particularly distracting when it causes inbox to attempt to load the image several times which results in the space expanding then contracting quickly. I've confirmed this issue over multiple computers (mac and windows) and multiple accounts.
  • (2018-06-25, v:2.2.1) Chris R: Images in emails
    Is it expected behavior for this extension to not display images in email, just the broken link icon?
  • (2018-05-30, v:2.2.1) jodene shar: tracker
    Since this is an extension from my chrome web store for my google chrome netbook..........am I able or not able to use it on my comcast.net email account?? I do not use or address my gmail account for emails. Can you answer, please?? Why do feel it necessary to show my picture, my name and profile?? I left FB and this concerns me. Let's protect you from people using you for tracking purposes but go ahead and show the world your picture and profile with name.If you have a pic of me, you got it from my old FB account and there we go again with the data breaching. I also didn't ask for this to be published and now learn that I either Publish it or cancel it. Thank you for the options...

    Does this extension work with Google "Inbox", or just with the legacy Google Gmail?

  • (2015-03-12, v:1.0.5) Anthony King: Notification icon tracks outbound mail
    I use Yesware and have noticed that the icon appears to be also tracking the outbound pixels that my yesware extension is adding to my outbound email. Is this correct ?
