2024-09-20 David It looks very good. I would like a way, through this extension or another, to convert gmail into the basic html view, the exact same look and exact same minimal functionality, that Google discontinued this year. If there is a way to flip to that mode with the present extension, I don't see it. P.S. Is there a way turn off animated transitions? If I hover over an email header, it pops up slightly, the border turns bold, etc.
2024-01-16 Oliver I can't really use Gmail without all those imortant upgrades anymore.
2024-01-16 Edward This is a truly astounding extension! It would be worth the subscription fee for the tracker blocking alone, but all of the UX improvements over default Gmail make Simplify a real gem. I feel so much calmer using Gmail than I did before. Thanks, Michael!
2024-01-15 Alexandre Fantastic. Couldn't live without it.
2022-12-14 Matt I'm giving this 1 star and here is way because when I installed this extension, I thought it was free, but it is not since my trial has expired which is stupid this should be free, I would never pay for extension ever and I shouldn't have to.
2022-12-12 Dave Simplify brings back all the good stuffs from back in the Inbox days and builds upon it with a ton of seriously good features. This is the kind of webmail experience I wish was the default standard for us all.
2022-01-30 David This is one of the most useful extensions I've ever downloaded! I was just looking for something that gave me the unread messages count in the corner of my browser, but THIS extension is 1,000% more useful. Totally worth the $2 per month. It simplifies the Gmail website to something that looks similar to my email in (much more user-friendly) Outlook at work.
2021-10-22 Yann Gmail finally looks like an email client !
2021-04-05 Sean Yes, yes and yes! This really helps declutter gmail. I use about 6-7 different gmails at once for work. This really helps! Thank you!
2021-03-18 Ryan If this ever went away I'd be forced to find a new email client. It's that good.
