Block email tracking pixels and see who tried to track you

Mailshade is a privacy-first browser extension that network-blocks requests matching reviewed tracking-pixel endpoints, detects pixels and tracking links in opened messages, and lets you choose a direct destination or the original link. Its dashboard shows which senders attempted tracking.

  • Works in Gmail, Outlook, Office 365, Superhuman, Yahoo & ProtonMail; each client is opt-in.
  • Tracker history stays local; settings can sync through Chrome Sync.
  • Core inbox history is not transmitted; paid billing calls and off-by-default crash reports are documented.
  • Mailshade is AGPL-3.0-or-later; available versioned source archives and checksums are listed at mailshade.org/source.
Animated demo: a tracker pixel appears in an inbox row, then a red eye icon reveals the detected tracker domain.

Evidence-led comparisons

Product-scope facts are tied to dated first-party sources. Comparative blocking, precision, link, privacy and reporting results remain pending the published browser benchmark; Mailshade does not name a winner before the exact public packages and raw evidence pass that method.
