2024-04-18	Tom Barclay	en	I have no idea how Google's UI designers seem to repeatedly decide to violate the most basic tenet of UI/UX design: Don't take something that works for the majority of your user base and change it such that it now irritates and frustrates most of said user base. Or put another way: Something a minority of users will use should not have to be a distraction to all the other users. That's just BAD UI/UX design. I think living at the Google campuses may somehow end up being an echo-chamber. While I'm ranting: Let me decide what's on my menu bar. It also has become a thing full of annoyance because it has so much I don't ever (and never will) use, yet it eats up real estate that pushes things I use a lot (like intentions and lists) off into a drop down. Daft! Vexatious! Google!
2024-01-30	Josh Estes	en	Google docs is usable again! It's such a small thing, but endlessly annoying for someone that never ever inserts stuff like that into the documents I write, and seeing something pop up after I stop typing every time is a distraction and breaks concentration on what I was trying to convey. Why would they ever think "lets add something new, but with no way of turning it off!"
2024-01-30	Dimes	en	Thank you so much for this. Every time I made a new line I kept getting irritated and it kept pulling me out of what I was writing. Why Google couldn't implement an 'off' switch themselves, I'll never know. Or maybe just remind you once at the start of a new document and that's it? Why hover it on every new line? Thanks for this extension, it works. People who hate this feature, don't forget to complain via Docs > Help > Help Docs Improve so they don't pull this type of stuff on us in future.

2024-01-29	Katie Dozier	en	Hooray--this works! Thank you so much; the "@" made googledocs unusable for me.
2024-01-28	Mark Bank	en	When I created a new Doc two months ago, it came pre-slathered with widgets at the top. Blank canvas is sacred to the writer, so this was aggressive. What a bad decision. Apparently, that was just an opener. With the @ flashing in front of every new paragraph, it's clear someone high up the chain has lost their mind. My use case is simple, so I will leave if they ask again. In the mean time, thank you for the filter! I bet no user would mind if you also excluded the buttons, slathered across new Docs.
2024-01-28	Linsey	en	Finally I can focus without that stupid @ ruining everything I'm trying to write. Thank you for this life saviour.
2024-01-28	Justin Currie	en	Thank f-ing god. this thing was killing my writing flow.
2024-01-28	Matt Kelsey	en	Oh my effing god thank you
2024-01-28	Melissa Cassick	en	My characters stopped speaking and stared at it with each new paragraph. You saved their lives.
