Subscribing to email lists is relatively easier compared to unsubscribing from them. Some hide the unsubscribe link so you’ll (presumably) give up on trying to unsubscribe. Others redirect to an invalid unsubscribe page or instruct you to send them an email requesting to be removed from the list instead. The most annoying case is the one where you’ve already followed their instructions on how to unsubscribe to a T and get the message that you’ve already been unsubscribed. Then a day passes, and you get another email from them again.
Aiming to make the entire process of unsubscribing easier for everyone is RemoveMe. It’s essentially a browser extension that adds an “Unsubscribe” beside the email subject in your inbox, so you can just click that and it’ll do the rest for you. Easy, right?
RemoveMe is available for Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Hotmail, and it’s being offered for free by PowerInbox. You can install it here.
