Ugly Email
Get Back Your Email Privacy, Block Email Tracking.
Ugly Email - Block Email Tracking Pixel in Gmail
"Ugly Email" is an open-source Firefox add-on that aims to enhance your email privacy by scanning your inbox for emails with tracking pixels. Emails that are being tracked are highlighted with an eyeball icon, and the tracking pixel will be blocked to prevent further tracking. The add-on ensures user privacy as all data is stored locally on your browser's IndexDB storage, without further tracking, data transfer, or storage on any external servers.
