The plugin claims that I am being tracked via tracking pixel (or other image) embedded in emails and that the trackers know when I read my email and where I read it from (from my IP address). Is this true? Google server attachments through a proxy. This would prevent trackers from seeing my IP address. If assets are cached or pre-downloaded by Google, then trackers wouldn't know when I read their emails either.
Gmelius might even decrease privacy. The plugin includes a JavaScript file hotlinked to inboxsdk.com. It's possible that inboxsdk.com is tracking users this way.
Anyone know of an alternative that does this?
Are emails with certain CSS or markup designed for accessibility excluded? If I carefully selected a high contrast design, with heavy stroke-weight fonts because my recipient is vision impaired, or I included specific ARIA landmark roles or other markup, and that markup's semantics are changed when the presentation is changed ... Is Gmelius going to blindly overrule these considered choices?
Can a user choose to exclude senders from having their styles overridden, or themselves change the overriding style sheet? Maybe their contacts list senders don't get overruled?
It's bad enough that ISPs inject themselves into web sites, please don't believe that you are harmlessly changing things for the better. Unless you've got serious design and accessibility knowledge that will ensure emails' design intent or accessibility for disabled users aren't affected, it seems like a needlessly complex and burdensome thing to manage.
Of course, maybe your target audience doesn't care, or knows that accessibility is affected and proceeds anyway. I certainly don't assign malicious intent to the extension, either way. I think it's a nice collection of user styles/user scripts, and if I wasn't already using a different client, I'd at least experiment with your additions (after turning off that vexatious CSS reset, ugh, that kind of thing really bothers me).
TL;DR: Well done. Please consider using bulk/transactional precedence (used by most legitimate commercial senders) and/or user overrides via whitelist or de-facto lists like contacts to exclude emails from having their styles overruled.
Missing a letter there :) Looks pretty cool, although I'm pretty happy with Gmail as-is.
Presumably the free tier is for one account?
> Number of Accounts: --
Would suggest "1" is clearer.
There's also a couple of sections with hashmarks but no "Coming soon/Q1/etc." - presumably they follow on from the last section, but it's not immediately obvious what the hashing even means.
It also seems that you _do_ support Inbox by Gmail [1] - but I had to Google this, after nearly dismissing Gmelius because it makes no mention of Inbox on the site.
