Creep Alert Extension

Creep Alert is the Chrome extension for Gmail that gives you an alert when someone tries to track you via email. It also blocks read-receipts and hidden tracking pixels.

HOW IT WORKS:
When a tracker is detected, it blocks it and shows an alert icon next to the sender's name. By clicking the alert icon, you will also be able to send a prewritten and polite response to the sender, informing them that you are not ok with being tracked.

Henning Sillerud (ID: 000000c132e9a591) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/30/2019 Hi, I'm one of the makers of Creep Alert. We're making Creep Alert to stop the widespread use of email trackers. After a couple of weeks of testing, I'm happy to announce that it works like a charm.
