Gmail Conversation Reversal

Reverse the display of emails in Gmail threads, show the latest email at top.

Gmail Conversation Reversal

The Gmail Conversation Reversal extension transforms your email experience by reversing the order in which emails are displayed in a thread. Instead of showing the oldest email at the top, it brings the latest message forward, allowing you to read the most recent responses first. This simple yet powerful tool enhances your email workflow, making it easier to follow conversations without scrolling through long threads.

Inspired by previous extensions, we have improved reliability and fixed various issues, especially with compatibility in recent Gmail UI updates. The extension leverages manifest v3 for enhanced performance and security. For those interested in the technical side, you can review the source code available at GitHub.

WORKS! don't forget to restart chrome after installing, that trick did it for me

It was a home run for me. I installed it, conducted some tests and it worked like a charm! I will report back if I run into any problems. Thanks!
