Email platforms in web browsers are very popular and easy to use. However, Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo each have their pitfalls. Many marketing messages, spam, or phishing attempts use tracking pixels, which are designed to spy on the user and send information back to the sender.
With the Trocker browser extension for Google Chrome and compatible browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.), you can prevent spying and block any feedback. Once installed, the extension automatically scans your inbox and searches for emails containing tracking pixels.

When you open these emails, the tool marks the trackers with a T symbol on a grey background to the right of the sender’s address. If you move the mouse pointer over the icon, the extension displays the target address of the tracking pixel in a pop-up. Clicking on the icon deactivates the blocking of the link. Trocker also marks the position in the email with a purple T icon.
