Description

Gmail Sender Icons is a Google Chrome extension that makes it easy for you to quickly and visually identify email senders in Gmail. It shows the company domain name of the email sender and the official logo (favicon) of the sender's organization alongside the email message. For instance, if you receive an email from larry@google.com, the Gmail extension will add a virtual label google.com to your email message and also a logo of the Google website next to the message so you can immediately identify the sender in the email list. Gmail Sender Icons has been featured on Product Hunt, LifeHacker, The Next Web and host of popular websites. The favicons and the sender's domain are visible across Gmail including search results. The sender's label is applied virtually and the actual labels of the email message are left unchanged. The Gmail Chrome extension uses the Google S2 service for generating the website's favicon while the Gmail messages are parsed with the Inbox SDK framework. All processing is done locally in your browser and no Gmail data is ever shared or uploaded anywhere. The add-on is open source and the code is available on Github.

This is a very useful extension to get a quick glance of the senders without reading the message's title at all. Really saves a lot of time. But unfortunately this extension makes Gmail consume awfully lot of CPU and RAM on relatively low-end computers. My CPU constantly spikes at 100% usage while I have this extension enabled, and I feel that all those consumed CPU cycles are not really necessary for a relatively simple function like this. So all in all it's a great convenience I'd say but it's kinda pity that it uses so much system resources. I hope you 'll be able to fix this critical issue in the future. If that happens, I'll be sure to update my review and give the extension 5 stars instead :)

Doesn't work for Vertical Pane or the new Gmail update. If you could get it working for at the least Vertical, I would come back and rate it 5 stars =)

It is OK. Icons do not work regardless of how the toggles are set. The names (without icons) are too much and clutter the inbox. Nice idea but needs improvement to be useful to our team.

Good but doesn't work in split pane mode.

Not works if you use Preview Pane from Labs.

I think it works as advertised, but for me it was a case where what sounded like a GREAT idea, ended up making my in box much too cluttered, and ironically more difficult to sort through. I already have labels for just about everything, and suddenly adding in all the new icons was just visual overload. So no so much a knock on the execution of the extension, but it's good to be aware of for future users.

Needs option to just have the icon. Right now it just messes up my inbox too much.
