User reviews
It looks very good. I would like a way, through this extension or another, to convert gmail into the basic html view, the exact same look and exact same minimal functionality, that Google discontinued this year. If there is a way to flip to that mode with the present extension, I don't see it.
P.S. Is there a way turn off animated transitions? If I hover over an email header, it pops up slightly, the border turns bold, etc.

I can't really use Gmail without all those imortant upgrades anymore.

This is a truly astounding extension! It would be worth the subscription fee for the tracker blocking alone, but all of the UX improvements over default Gmail make Simplify a real gem. I feel so much calmer using Gmail than I did before. Thanks, Michael!
