Let this script be your best friend and hide that banner and those ads. Enjoy!

This extension hasn't been updated in 4 years. Biggest dealbreaker for me: it disables the undo feature in the new Gmail.
This was a great add for Gmail
Hi there this is great bar one thing... there is an annoying jingle sound in the background for a "new mail"... [edit] ok found that there are settings to turn this off. I would suggest off to start with for new users. Also maybe a clearer indication of how to get to settings ? "\" key on keyboard for anyone who missed it.
This is exactly what I needed. Does everything I wanted, including hiding left column, hiding unstarred symbols, moving attachment symbol, and more. Only gripe is that it, as of 1/2017, changes the default font Gmail uses.
Permite esconder practicamente todo lo que distrae y mostrar unicamente el correo, también da la opción de auto esconder mensajes cuando quieres leer un correo y notificar con un sonido cuando lleguen nuevos mails Excelente, justo lo que necesitaba
Not compatible with Boomerang. :(
This is one of my favourite extensions in Chrome, making my Gmail account look much more reasonable than standard - saving a lot of screen space. Thank you Albert!
It is exactly what I needed. The uncollapsable left panel was really annoying.
Currently it is eliminating my search box at the top of my gmail page
Must have! I tried all Gmail improvements extensions and this is the best. Love the app, but my multiple inboxes overlap with each other when I set them to the right of my inbox. Otherwise, fantastic app.
On certain ZOOM sizes, the entire gmail interface disappears.
I really liked it, it does lots of things I want Gmail to do. But other I don't need and I can't disable. One problem I found is that I can't attach files anymore. I click the attach button and it does nothing :( I don't know if someone else have this poblem too. I hope you an fix that soon, because beside the features I don't need... I really like this plugin.
Finally works great, thank you. :)
Ne fonctionne pas du tout sous Mac OS X, alors que l'extension est parfaite sous Windows. Comme tout est synchronisé, extension directement à la poubelle.
Really not a fan of all of the permissions requests. Do you really now need access to my browsing history? Uninstalled.
Nice job. The only thing I wish it would do is move the search box down by the compose button - I end up hitting "h" a lot.
Lifesaver on this small netbook that I am using. Thank u!
Useful on small screens to get the most out of Gmail and increase your productivity by focusing on the essential things.
Excellent! I just wish it didn't cause an irritating flicker due to resizing every time I re-open Gmail.
perfect. glad it's been resurrected
This is one of the best piece of Chrome extension I've ever used! What difference it makes.
