Still, it’s not for everyone. In this post, let’s talk about how to go about uninstalling it from your Chrome browser.

What is Boomerang? (And Why You May Want to Remove It)

Boomerang is a Gmail-based extension for Google Chrome with a few popular key features. Namely, it allows you to schedule emails for a later date. In addition, you can get emails to disappear from your inbox and appear at a later date of your choosing.

Email Tracking – Tired of wondering if somebody even opened your email or read it in the first place? This is a big problem with outreach campaigns and handling clients. Email tracking from Right Inbox, you know if somebody opened your email, you also know at what time they opened it. It can be incredibly helpful for planning your communications.

Reminders – Who couldn’t use a reminder in today’s day and age? Instead of trying to remember exactly when to follow up with somebody, check an email, or get an update on a project, set yourself reminders with the exact date that’s most convenient for you.
