It’s easier to disable all the garbage than remove the garbage?

    Gmail has started injecting a fat “Suggestions for responding to emails” feature into my composition space. Really fucking annoying when you’re trying to type something out on a phone. No idea how to begin disabling it, I couldn’t find configurations anywhere in the settings.

    I’ve had this email address for over 20 years. Not looking forward to changing it. But enshitification won’t stop.

      I access my gmail on my phone browser (I hate email apps because of how intrusive they can be), and for a while it was nice. I didn’t need to enable javascript, gmail just worked.

      Then they got rid of the HTML-only frontend, and so I used the javascript frontend, and gmail just worked.

      Then they started adding a “Please use the App” banner every Nth time I login. For now, it’s… fine.

      Once they get rid of the mobile javascript frontend? Yes, I might have to try using email apps again

      Thunderbird is ready to welcome you back. It never left. Email belongs in a dedicated apllication, not a web frontend
