Is there any chrome extension or add on that will filter spam email, specifically for gmail?

I’ve been getting 6-10 spam emails per day over the last few weeks, mostly Home Depot or Lowe’s spoofs about winning tools and gift cards.

Sorry, couldn't resist. But I have found the Gmail spam filter works fairly well but sometimes has breakthroughs. Use the report spam or report phishing option to submit them to Gmail. They will catch up again I think.

I'd take some HD or Lowe's tools/gift cards; all of mine are for Dick's and Harbor Freight. I've never stepped foot in either of these stores

But seriously, as another poster pointed out just keep reporting them as spam. Eventually, google will catch up and auto spam them. It does look like someone has bought a bunch of gmail addresses again as I am back to getting inundated with 50+ spam messages a day. Thankfully, the algorithm is catching 90% of them
