Basic Information

Ugly Email is a invisible tracking pixel blocker for Gmail. It is newly open sourced and has restricted its permissions within the browser to only information on gmail.

Name: Ugly Email
Category: Browser Addons
URL: uglyemail.com (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ugly-email-com/)

Description

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.

I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.

This sounds very interesting, did you have time to do some ext-analysis as you wished?
