Ugly Email
Description from store

The #1 most downloaded Gmail extension for blocking read receipts and other email tracking pixels.

Ugly Email is a Gmail plug-in. When a tracker is detected, it shows the icon of an eyeball in the subject line to alert you that a tracker is hidden inside the email.

Rest assured that all detected trackers are blocked and you can freely open your emails.

Loved this extension, however now its unavailable :(
Jono Hargreaves
Well I can't be certain it is actually blocking the tracker, but I do see the all seeing eye next to certain emails which is super great! Big ups to the developer for this app, great concept!

"This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Any chance this will be updated?
Mark
Fantastic plugin, better than the others! Edit: Latest version fixed issues, thanks again!

As of March 6, 2024, this extension is no longer working with Gmail. If you're getting error code #2014, this is the one to turn off to get Gmail to work again.

Extension needs to be updated. Current version isn't compatible with Chrome (Version 122.0.6261.112) - breaks Gmail.

ZERO STARS !!! "Oops… the system encountered a problem (#2014) - Retrying in 12s…" Gmail issues above error message, hangs up gmail. Removed and reinstalled - did not fix it - AVOID !!! Started very recently.

Stopped working a few days ago. I've been a user and fan for many years. Hopefully it will be updated.

the extension is causing problems with gmail. Have been using it for a long time, only faced the problem today
Jason Eisner
Hi Tim Finin! Yes, the extension is making Gmail unusable as of today, with an error "The conversation you requested cannot be loaded." I've been using Ugly Email for a long time with no problems. Hopefully the maintainers can update it.
Tim Finin
I had to disable the extension in Chrome it since today it led to a #2014 error. :-(
Robert Venus
needs some sort of update i guess as the Opps problem comes up now if i enable it
Daniel T
Had to disable as it produces "oops" errors and gmail doesn't load.

Used to work beautifully but unfortunately it's breaking Gmail now, will revise to my usual 5 star once fixed!

I used for 2 years and it worked perfectly fine thanks. But there might have a recent update on gmail that's causing an error #2014 making it almost impossible to use gmail with ugly-email so I'm unstalling it and letting people know ! Cheers

Used to be the GOAT, but after the latest Chrome updates it doesn't do it's job anymore. Time to find something else

Extension was working fine for the last few months then stopped after the most recent chrome update. Anyone else have this?

does what it's supposed to. afaik isn't triggering the read receipts by scanning my emails or anything, but if your work is highly confidential it's safer to not use 3rd party extensions.

Didn't work. I don't know why it didn't work. I installed it on Chrome, I checked my gmail. I know I've got emails/spam with trackers in there, but nothing was flagged. I closed and reopened Chrome. Nothing. I also installed Trocker and the same non-result. I know that the advertising emails from one place is definitely tracking me because when I don't open their emails, they email me about not opening them. But even though there's an advertising email in my inbox, nothing is flagged. I'm very disappointed, and have uninstalled.

Love this plugin, seems to have stopped working recently (1/22/21).

Great extension, however, it stopped working with a recent Chrome or Mac OS release (12/2020).

Works OK, but the UglyEmail icon is too big for Compact View in GMail, so it causes line heights to increase whenever the icon is displayed - a pain in the butt when trying to click on a message halfway down the screen. Plugin disabled in order to conserve my sanity. I do wish that there were an option to either not display the icon or display a less intrusively sized icon.
