SIMPLIFY AND ENHANCE GMAIL
Brought to you by the co-founder and design lead for Google Inbox, Simplify for Gmail is a browser extension for desktop Gmail that boosts productivity, strengthens privacy, and reduces stress with...

◆ BETTER DESIGN: Hundreds of improvements (small and large) to streamline, simplify, and enhance Gmail’s design and functionality. Hide the features you don’t use, customize the ones you do including setting the list and message width and fonts.

◆ BUNDLES: Group conversations with the same label or category into a single row in your inbox for easier bulk reading and processing.

◆ SAVED SEARCHES: Add commonly used searches or bookmark any message to your nav for easy access. Simplify includes 24 useful searches by default like Travel, Purchases, Archived, Attachments, Notes to self, PDFs, Photos, and more.

◆ PAUSE INBOX: Pause new mail or hide the inbox entirely for deep focus. Optionally disable notifications when the inbox is paused or hidden.

◆ BLOCK TRACKERS: Simplify blocks over 250 email spy trackers (more than any other tracker blocker extension).

◆ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS: Navigate faster with your arrow keys, Enter (to open, then to reply), and Escape (close a message, then to return to inbox). Use familiar shortcuts like Ctrl+A / ⌘A to select all or Ctrl+Z / ⌘Z to undo. Press "?" in Gmail to see all shortcuts. Also includes advanced shortcuts like [ I ] to reply to an intro and move the sender to BCC.

◆ DARK MODE: Auto-switch with OS with options to invert all of Gmail’s UI and some or all messages.

◆ GROUP BY DATE: Group messages list by date with bulk actions to one-click archive or delete.

◆ INBOX ZERO BACKGROUND: Choose a different background to get when you reach inbox zero.

◆ AUTO-CC/BCC: Set addresses to add to every new message and/or reply

And much more...

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Overhauled theme detection to be much more resilient and performant
- Further improvements and fixes across themes with the inbox and the nav
- Support and visual improvements for Gmail’s new Manage Subscriptions feature where you can quickly unsubscribe from lots of lists in one place with one click (this Gmail feature seems to still only be available to some personal accounts)
- Convert links in emails to Simplify prefs to an action that opens the Simplify preference menu
- Block new Hubspot email tracker
- Turn Gmail’s search sort menu into an icon and re-scan the list when sort order is changed (this too appears to only be available on some Google Workspace accounts)

FIXES:
- Match system theme when enabling the parent “Enhance dark themes” pref if the sync with system theme pref is enabled
- Prevent messages from reflowing in certain conditions for vertical reading pane – consider if importance indicators are enabled when setting the max width for bundle actions
- Change for handling images with html width attribute and inline css max-width style set to 100% if that makes the image smaller
