Richard Hoefer		 en 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.

Dávid Bendes		 en 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.

Stefanie Somers		 en I really need this to work... ..and it's only meh. Dang it. I have a deep label structure that's very frustrating to work with, as many as 4 or 5 layers. In some places this extension will perfectly pluck the correct text - the last bit after the final "/" and display that. In some cases it brings along the preceding "xxxx/" with it. In nearly all cases the label/folder above the final one is unaffected, and displays the entire string. Nearly. But not all. Inconsistent. More like 2-1/2 stars really. If this worked consistently and correctly I'd happily pay for it - this issue has been a thorn in my side with Gmail from day one. Fix it and send me a bill!

Carlos		 en Works amazing. Super recommended! PS. Any chance you allow the extension to ALWYS show labels? I want to see the label even when browsing that label's emails (instead of them disappearing which is Gmail's default behavior)...that would be so great. Thank you!

Luke		 en The extension does not work for me. It is grayed out when attempting to select it to tweak options. Potential conflict with another extension? Who knows, but I'm not about to deactivate every single other extension to troubleshoot it.

Kayla Carter		 en I've used this extension for years with absolutely no problem, and I love it! Turns those hideously long labels into short, concise things! However, as of today, 8/4/2021, suddenly there is an issue. Most of the labels are still loading correctly, but on some of them, it has: 72.png loading="lazy"> before what would normally be the shortened-version of the label name. It just happened sort of suddenly and out of nowhere, and it's only a few of the labels it's displaying wrong, but I'm unsure of how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I don't want to have to stop using this extension because the aesthetic of it is ruined! (I'm on a Macbook Air & Chrome is up-to-date as of the posting of this review).
