Ugly Email scans through your inbox and looks for emails containing tracking pixels. Tracked emails are labeled with an eyeball icon, and the tracking pixel is blocked. All of the Ugly Email data is stored on your browser's IndexDB storage locally. We do not track, transfer, or store any of your information.
Why I am making the suggestion
I have just recently found this addon and thought it might be a good addition for firefox users since pixelblock is only available on chrome. I need to investigate it further using ext-analysis but think it looks promissing.
My connection with the software
No connection. Just found it and it looks like the dev is making a few good steps towards being more private. Ex) All the 1 star reviews worried me initially since they were mentioning the over abundance of permissions needed for the extension. After installing I can confirm this is fixed, also the addon is now fully open source which I like.
This sounds very interesting, did you have time to do some ext-analysis as you wished?
