Google its UI has become increasingly cluttered and does not offer any proper layout or style changes.
(I would add that a well designed layout does not require alteration in the first place..)
These extensions from Jason work smooth and have a minimalist look and feel which we love.
We very much appreciate the default list view in the drive extension and the simplified layout for Gmail.
The option to choose how much you want to contribute is also very welcome, as we have little budget for all sorts of software on top of our monthly overhead, and so we can actually afford to use his software.
If Jason worked at Google, these extension would not be needed, But we are so happy he took the initiative.
Great work Jason. And please, don't fix what is not broken! We miss the age before daily "updates". Sometimes a product is finished and just works. For any new improvements and changes I would say; Go for it, but always give your users a choice to keep things as they were. Thank you!!!
