Simplify Gmail: Bringing the Simplicity of Google Inbox to Gmail

Am I the only one that would miss every single thing this extension hides? Actually I don't use the right side bar, but I like to organize my email in labels and auto filter emails into them and clearly see how many I have.

I do like gmail as it is now. Actually, I also like the html version https://mail.google.com/mail/ca/u/0/h/ but because it has all the features of the normal gmail but it loads faster.

Completely agree. I’m a very big user of labels. I have more than a hundred, and have set up about 50 automatic filters to apply these labels, so much that 99% of the emails I receive have at least one label applied to them automatically.

This extension is geared towards Inbox users who want some less UI overload but without all the automatic features. Seems more like a coat of paint than a plugin.

Same here, after trying the new gmail for a couple of weeks, I really enjoy the labels (with different color) and filters, it feels like everything is well organized and is totally under my control.

You can still open the left nav and leave it open. It just hides entirely when you minimize it like it does in Inbox.

I use that Basic HTML version ever since that weird reply popup panel appeared.
