Big waste of time, the only spam we get is fake spam. I just hit the spam button, I don't give KnowBe4 the satisfaction. You also don't have to sign in, just close the window when it prompts you to sign in.. But yes this is a big waste of space and and eye sore

This works really well for non-gmail.com domains. It is easy to configure as well, using the Google Workspace admin console.Very easy to install, use and uninstall as well.
