Method 3: Using a Browser Extension

If you prefer to use a browser extension, you can install the "Read Receipt" extension from the Chrome Web Store. This extension will allow you to mark emails as "Seen" when you open them in your inbox.

  1. Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "Read Receipt".
  2. Install the extension.
  3. Once installed, go to your Gmail inbox and open an email.
  4. The extension will mark the email as "Seen" in your inbox.

Note: The "Seen" status is only visible to the sender of the email, and it's not a guarantee that the email has been read. It's just a notification that the email has been opened in your inbox.
