Add mail.google.com to yellowlist This is a workaround for mailto links failing with ERR_FAILED in Chrome when Gmail is set as the mail handler. When you open a mailto link into another tab, Privacy Badger sees what appears to be a service worker-initiated request to mail.google.com initiated by the page you clicked the link on. Since the page is probably not Google affiliated, Privacy Badger thinks this is a third-party request that should be blocked.
