MailBlock: Disable tracking from Gmail

MailBlock is a free Chrome add-on developed by Ruby.co that aims to protect your privacy by disabling tracking from Gmail. With the increasing prevalence of embedded tracking in emails, MailBlock offers a solution to prevent senders from knowing when and where you open their emails.

According to statistics, approximately 90% of marketing emails and 20% of personal emails contain embedded tracking. This tracking allows the sender to monitor how many times you open their email and even track your location at the time of opening. MailBlock addresses this issue by blocking tracking from almost 100 different vendors.

One of the key features of MailBlock is its comprehensive block list, which is regularly updated every week. This ensures that you are protected from the latest tracking techniques and vendors attempting to monitor your email activity. By using MailBlock, you can regain control over your privacy and prevent unwanted tracking from Gmail.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
