I'm wary of installing an extension that can access my data in gmail. Is the source code available anywhere?
Edit1: Found a chrome extension that lets me view the source code of chrome extensions[1]
Edit2: The inclusion of bootstrap.css is changing the appearance of some things, namely the "show original" message view. It also doesn't seem to detect the tracking image included by yesware
Edit3: Could I break this by adding "safe-img" somewhere in my tracking pixel url?

- ramoq 12y agoI understand your concern, but chrome extensions for gmail are widely used even across business/enterprise. If it's any consolidation, I do not store/scan/save any data. It just blocks images that people are using to invade your privacy (ie track your email opens). p.s. There is no oauth access required for this extension/app.

- ramoq 12y agoEdit2: Good catch Edit3: Technically yes, but I should move the blocking logic to the background script completely (webRequest level) [Edit - fixed the Show Original styling issue]

- ramoq 12y agoHi Alupis! PixelBlock specifically goes after known tracking images and things that smell like them (ie. 1x1 images). It doesn't block all images. But more importantly, it's a privacy concern that some people may or may not have. thanks! :)
- Alupis 12y agoLol, updated my post and then saw yours ;-P I understand people not wanting to be "tracked" by EMS... I'm on the "tracking" side of things... so my opinion is different than most people's.
