It looks very good. I would like a way, through this extension or another, to convert gmail into the basic html view, the exact same look and exact same minimal functionality, that Google discontinued this year. If there is a way to flip to that mode with the present extension, I don't see it. P.S. Is there a way turn off animated transitions? If I hover over an email header, it pops up slightly, the border turns bold, etc.

I can't really use Gmail without all those imortant upgrades anymore.

This is a truly astounding extension! It would be worth the subscription fee for the tracker blocking alone, but all of the UX improvements over default Gmail make Simplify a real gem. I feel so much calmer using Gmail than I did before. Thanks, Michael!

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Simplify Gmail requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Simplify Gmail is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
