Cons
- Lack of comprehensive Getting Started guide or documentation to help new users transform their inbox effectively.
- Some users desire more advanced snoozing options and integration with Google Tasks or Reminders.
- Trial period is limited (30 days), and some users find it difficult to test fully before purchasing.
- Minor UI issues such as the handling of label icons and dark mode settings can be confusing at first.
- Limited active development updates cause concern about the extension's continued lifecycle for some users.

The title says it all! Nice and simple and elements that Gmail should have embedded anyway :-)

Only 10 minutes I am using it, but already convinced !
Simplify will make you realize how much the GMAIL interface is messy... simplify it !
You keep the same functionalities, but in a structured way.
Only 1 point I would ask (that is why 4 and not 5 stars) = on the left, the labels = can we keep the icons / reduced version ? As per today, May 2025, you hide the labels or keep them full whereas Gmail (standard) offers hide / minimize / hide.
Thank you ! I am sure the GMAIL developers do not use GMAIL interface, or they are the users of Simplify.

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 a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. 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 a Chrome extension.
Simplify Gmail has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
