Truxel - Domain Age Checker (Gmail & GoogleGroups)

Displays the domain age of senders in Gmail and Google Groups.

Instantly view the domain age of email senders in Gmail and Google Groups to spot fresh domains, scams, and spoofing attempts. Detailed Description Protect your inbox from sophisticated phishing and "fresh domain" scams. Domain Age Checker is a security tool designed for logistics, business, and high-volume email users. It automatically scans incoming emails in Gmail and Google Groups to verify the age of the sender's domain. Scammers often register new domains (e.g., company-support.net) just days before sending an email. This extension exposes that hidden data instantly, giving you a clear visual warning before you reply or click any links. 🛡️ KEY FEATURES: Universal Support: Works seamlessly on both Gmail and Google Groups. Instant Visual Badges: Automatically inserts a colored badge next to every sender's email address. Public Email Detection: Instantly flags free providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) with a "Public Email" warning to prevent impersonation. One-Click Vetting: The domain name in the badge is clickable (and sanitized), allowing you to safely visit the website in a new tab to verify its legitimacy. Smart "Hunter" Technology: Detects email addresses even when hidden inside complex formatting or text bodies (common in Google Groups). 🚦 THE TRAFFIC LIGHT SYSTEM: Know who you are dealing with at a glance: 🔴 RED (WARNING): Fresh Domain (< 1 Year): The domain was registered very recently. High risk of fraud or "fly-by-night" operations. Public Email: The sender is using a free account (e.g., @gmail.com) instead of a business domain. 🟠 ORANGE (CAUTION): Medium Age (1–2 Years): The domain is relatively new. Proceed with caution. 🟢 GREEN (SAFE): Established (> 2 Years): The domain has a long history and is likely legitimate. 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY: No Data Collection: This extension does not track your browsing history, read your emails content, or send data to third-party servers. Transparent Lookups: Domain age is verified via standard RDAP/WHOIS protocols directly from your browser. Local Processing: All analysis happens locally on your device. Perfect for: Logistics coordinators, freight brokers, sales teams, and anyone who deals with new vendors or urgent email requests daily. Justification for Permissions Host Permissions (mail.google.com, groups.google.com): Required to scan the DOM for sender email addresses to display the safety badge. Host Permissions (rdap.org): Required to query the public registration date of the domain name. Scripting: Required to inject the visual HTML badge next to the sender's name.
