Used to work well but now I can't see the "crossed red-eye" icon. It used to reassure me that it's doing it's job. Any idea @Omar Qureshi?

Was good, but unfortunately no longer updated or supported. I've just found Email Privacy Protector which seems to better anyway.

This is a great addition to any browser in the age of political ad targeting. Everyone should install it.

I don't actually have a way to verify whether or not this works as intended, but I do see the red icon letting me know that trackers are detected, and it doesn't seem to have any negative impact on the format of my emails.

I have been using this for about 4 days and it has shown which Amazon sellers and their "backers" who is watching where I forward a mail. I like to protect our IP addresses and more. Thank you to the developer and will be more aware now.

From a display standpoint, PixelBlock is easy to understand and takes not effort on the user other than a simple install. The reason for the low review is due to PixelBlock clearly not working after basic user testing. I installed PixelBlock on my primary email account; Under a secondary, external account, I installed a free email tracker -- in this case Mailtrack -- and sent my primary account a tracked email; Immediately after opening the tracked email from the primary account, the secondary account received a response that the email had been opened. This was tested 3x for basic consistency. I've emailed the developer (omar.w.qureshi [at] gmail.com) a screenshot showing one occurrence to help their team (as well as clearly describing above with app used); however, I will be uninstalling PixelBlock as it clearly does not work as designed.
