Like others stopped working but was great for years until last week!
Kathrin Wiedmann
Since the new update (don't know if google or this add-on) it stopped working... Please update - it was so much better.
Mehmet Canpolat
Nooooo. What have you done with the latest update :'(
Václav Koudele
It stopped working. I'm sad. I've been using it for years.
Vecticon Co

Menno Vos
Great extension, I have been using it a few years now but it stopped working as of today (16-10-2025). No matter what I try, I can't get it to work again.
Stephanie Lynch
It doesn't work, no matter how many times I uninstall it and re-install it.
Dragan Cicovic
Works great thank you, but would be even better if the reply compose box opened below the email being replied to, instead of above. Thanks again!
Phillip Bell
Works. Simple. Just what was needed.
Rodney Lover
I absolutely prefer how this shows my email! Thank you!
Samuel Leung
Simple and do the trick perfectly
Cian McGuinness
Simple extension that does the job perfectly!
Spencer Frame
So much better than CloudHQ that now charges for the reversal. Perfect replacement
Music Lab Folsom
Great but just one issue - when I reply to an email, it scrolls to the bottom of the window instead of to the top where I can type and see my reply. So I have to manually scroll up every time. Can this be fixed?
Erin Gold
Exactly what I needed the extension to do.
Andrew Edmonds
Great extension. simple, lightweight, works. No account needed.
Roel de Vos
Ok, until now I used the Cloudhq extension for this, but now they want us to make an account... This one works immediately after install. Really, no fuzz at all.
Traxtion Dispatch
Does not work all the time
Gold Gold
This is very useful and adds convenience to the user!
Tom Baverstock
Would be 5* if it didn't scroll to the bottom of the thread automatically as soon as you hit reply. At the moment it is of limited use.
Arun Agnihotri
Must have for Gmail!!
Peter Marcellino
Been using this for years now. Super helpful. Can't believe there is no built in setting for this.
Scott S
Nice. Exactly what i was looking for!
Jeff Thom
Works great. Cool that the source code it on gitlab. Hopefully, someone has check it to make sure they aren't reading our emails . . .
Hoss Zahiri
works great! game changer, how google did not offer this as an option blows my mind
Cy Bolton
Makes all the difference in the world... but one has to ask WHY Gmail requires an extension to create what should be the default view.
Shakeel Subair
This simple plugin makes Gmail chats look more like mobile messaging, with the latest messages at the top. Hard to believe Google missed such an obvious feature—crazy! But hey, thanks to this developer for fixing it! Steps: Click 'Add to Chrome' and accept the permissions. Open Gmail, go to Settings > General, and ensure Conversation View is on. Restart Gmail, and you're all set!
Jessamine Pan
Very shocked why Gmail isn't automatically showing the newest email at top??? why? I never can find content of my client's email, I had to keep rolling down on my phone and still can't find it, it is very hard to do this while on the go with cell phone. It is a bit odd google can have all the innovations but this? thank you for the extension, it is magic!
Kimberley Annear
A game changer!
Lora Rogers
Ohh my goodness, it works perfectly and makes me so happy. Thank you for having this tool available it saved my life from additional stress!
Dilli Prasad
Really It is Awesome .
Jason Bice
Works perfectly, thank you! I'm a bit surprised google isn't doing this without need of a plugin.
Luke Levin
It's such a nice surprise to download an extension and have it do exactly what it says it's going to without any extra nonsense or glitches.
Lotem Kaiser
Have been using it for years and not sure if I could do without it at this point :) Makes so much sense and works perfectly.
Dr. Kenneth Weinberg
You need a medal for this!!!
Daniel Chan
It's like discovering a whole new universe with this. Awesomeee!
Jade Meneguel
thank you for this <3
Sunil Kumar
Been using this extension for years now without realising how great it is. I used Gmail in another browser, and suddenly realised this extension is missing and using gmail was not smooth after that. This is very simple yet powerful extension to save your time of not scrolling to last conversation.
Shilo Peay
Best thing ever! Works great! I'm shocked Gmail doesnt have this function built in, but grateful this exists!
Shaun P
This is an AWESOME extension. Older messages now appear at the bottom of conversations and the sort order is now consistent with the sort order of the message list (ie. top-down newest-to-oldest). I have no issues scrolling when replying (the drafts I edit correctly appear at the top above the message I am replying to). Google's default logic of showing the most recent message in a conversation at the bottom made no sense at all, as it contradicts the idea of "append and indent original message" when replying which places the original, older message at the bottom. This extension finally brings some sanity to the conversation view.
HANAN ELSAYED
Thank you,
Alexander Dukes
THANK YOU! I was losing my mind switching between Outlook and Gmail. Google NEEDS to make this an option in Gmail! Until then, this will do! Works perfectly!
Adina Conroy
Worked perfectly! No idea why this isn't already a feature in gmail. '\_(**)_/'
Kumar H
such a shame that Google doesn't have this option in mail box and displays thread in illogical manner by default. It works here but how do I get this on gmail app on mobile?
Peter Hawkins
It's extremely silly that Gmail doesn't offer this option within its normal settings. Until sanity prevails, this works.
Anders Rosenbeck
Works well and should be standard functionality. One thing I am missing: a reply I make is not taken into consideration in the sorting. The conversation/thread is only sorted on top if I have received a reply. Or I am worng?
Zeb Lang
No idea why this is not a setting or default view but I am happy it works!
S. Lee Gooding
Works perfect for me. I have no issues with scroll when replying. The reply section opens directly above the message.
Hannes Hühmer
The best
Mark Old Account
Windows scrolls down when I hit reply, so I need to scroll back up again. Please fix this and it's a 5 start extension!
