NESTED LABELS ESSENTIAL for any GMAIL power user! VISUAL CLUTTER & DISTRACTION REMOVER greatly speeding up your at-a-glance INBOX filtration. Power users understand the huge organizational secret of PARENT FOLDERS with many subfolders inside them. Example: [ ACCOUNTS ] —— is the top-level folder for all the web-accounts you create; inside are: ---- [ AMAZON ] ---- [ APPLE ] ---- [ BANK of AMERICA ] ---- [ LINKEDIN ] ---- [ PAYPAL ] ---- [ SSA.gov ] ---- [ YOUTUBE ] . . . ---- [ REPLIES ] Without using "SHORT LABELS", if you get a reply notification for a Youtube video you commented on, that [ LABEL ] would display in your inbox as: [ ACCOUNTS / YOUTUBE / REPLIES ] (very long!) Using "SHORT LABELS" extension, it would display cleanly as simply [REPLIES ] Major shoutout to dev "Matt" -- it has always been flawless. I've used it for over 10 years and it's one of the first extensions I install on a new browser.

I'm using a nested system of labels, so shortening the label names saves a lot of space in the folder view. I wonder how the other 8B users of Gmail can live without this.
