Absolutely Essential Gmail addon. Love it. Please keep updating it as Gmail changes.

Works. I don't know why Google (and Apple) keeps simplifying their user interfaces; Do they simply consider us as simple as them? It seems that even this extension will no longer last much time. It's like fighting against a stubborn and deaf ignorant giant
