After disabling the AI crap google forces on you, I was looking for a way to help organize my mail. Found Simplify Gmail. Makes for a nice change to the default gmail presentation and well-worth the reasonable annual fee.

This is phenomenal. Makes GMail so much nicer looking and acting (for only $.07/day). Bundles are just fantastic and really help with organizing my workflow. This software is really well done and the developer is very responsive. GMail is now (finally) a joy to use.

Is Simplify Gmail Safe?

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 impact analysis details

Critical Request access to the following domains: google.com, googleusercontent.com
High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Simplify Gmail is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
