Email Remover takes a different approach to Joomla email protection

Email addresses appear on Joomla sites because organisations still publish contact details, support addresses and required legal contacts. Joomla core already provides the Email Cloaking content plugin, which obfuscates addresses in rendered content so they are less immediately readable to automated harvesters. Site owners can also avoid exposing an address by using a contact form, or control a particular display through a template override. Those approaches do not amount to removing every matching address from the final HTML, however. According to the listing, Email Remover works at the system-plugin level across public front-end output, and can delete addresses, substitute custom text or markup, or turn them into PNG images. It also claims to cover both mailto: links and plain text, with exceptions for specified addresses or domains.

That makes this relevant to sites publishing several addresses across articles, modules or template output, especially where a form or ordinary cloaking is not sufficient. A small site with one deliberately public contact address, or one already using a contact form, may have little reason to add it. The listing says it is free, GPLv2 or later, and supports Joomla 3 through 6. It shows ferino as having one other directory extension, but there are no reviews. Documentation is marked unavailable, and the listing does not explain hosting requirements for PNG generation, support arrangements, or how the plugin behaves with every kind of generated or cached output. Those points are worth checking before installation.
