User reviews

Users appreciate 'Trimless for Google Mail™' for automatically expanding clipped Gmail messages, eliminating the need to manually click to view entire content. The extension is lightweight and addresses a common frustration among Gmail users. However, it frequently breaks after Gmail updates, causing it to stop working. Users also report that it sometimes expands entire conversation threads unintentionally and requires page refreshes for full effect. Lack of mobile support and limited customization options are additional drawbacks. Despite these issues, many commend the extension for improving email readability on desktop Gmail.

Pros

Effectively removes or auto-expands the '[Message clipped]' notice in Gmail, enhancing email reading experience.
Simple, unobtrusive extension with minimal permissions required.
Allows users to avoid manually clicking 'View entire message' for clipped content.
Can be toggled on/off easily via the toolbar icon.
Fixes a notable annoyance in Gmail that many users appreciate.

Cons

Extension often stops working after Gmail updates, leading to clipped messages reappearing.
Sometimes automatically expands entire conversation threads, which can be unwanted.
Requires page refresh or reopening Gmail tab for clipping to be untrimmed reliably.
No mobile version available; only operates on desktop Gmail.
No option to selectively expand only clipped content without affecting replies or threads.

As someone who receives a lot of music venue schedule emails that are ALWAYS clipped, I really appreciated this extension and am super disappointed it's no longer supported. Really hope that I'm able to use this again one day!

Removes the annoyance of discovering Google's message clipped notice at the bottom of an email message. Hey Google, put that notice at the top of the email so that the reader knows immediately that the email has been truncated.

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.

Trimless for Google Mail™ requires very minimum permissions.
