User reviews

Users appreciate the Smooth Checkbox for Gmail™ extension for its ease of use, speed, and the smoother checkbox experience it provides, particularly in the classic Gmail inbox. However, many reviews mention that it stops working intermittently, especially with multiple inbox panes, and has limited functionality in priority inbox views. Some features like the pop-up menu lack essential options. Despite these issues, users commend the developer for eventually updating the extension to fix problems. There is also a desire for broader, universal functionality beyond Gmail.

This extension was awesome! I frankly miss it. I would love to see the developer make it active again and get it working properly to abide by chrome's policies.
