Gmail tracking: We do not respond to all emails. It goes without saying that we ignore a few emails each week and often the types of messages that are ignored are of a certain type.
They might be trying to sell us something, or they might be trying to get us to sign up for something unrelated service. But apart from these harmless emails that we often ignore, there are also those that track our movements. Specifically, they track if we open a message and report it to the sender.
This can be done very easily, with thecase an invisible one code in the message. It won't cause any damage to your computer, but the sender will know if you opened the message they sent you.
If you use Gmail, with Chrome or Firefox browsers, you can try the Ugly Email extension. The extension will show you which senders want to spy on you, and allow you to disable tracking in your Gmail.
Just install the Ugly Email extension in your browser. Once installed, it will automatically open Gmail on a new tab.
Any email in Gmail inbox will show an icon that will represent the status of this email. For example, the eye icon next to the title of a message contains a tracker that tells the sender if you opened the message or not.
In addition to tracking messages that contain tracking trackers, the extension automatically turns them off. This will allow you to open a message that contains a tracker and the sender will not know that you have opened it.
The Ugly Email extension manages to detect most email trackers, but it doesn't detect all of them. This is a project which is still under development and its developers are adding more and more every day services monitoring.

That is, it is OK to put an extension that is "All Rights Reserved Proprietary" that will have the right to read all my emails (possibly the sites I visit) to tell me if they are watching me if I open them !!!

Sorry my friend but to something unknown with an abandoned extension for months that contrary to what you write you do not become and often update is crazy privacy risk to give such rights to your browser to earn τίποτα nothing.
This extension is like putting the wolf kissing the sheep: p
