Use Gmail labels as Quick Links
Featuring Gmail: Add labels to quickly access any saved query, email, settings, or any other thing within Gmail.
The extension was inspired by Gmail Lab "Quick Links".
*NOTE that the links will not appear in a separate panel but rather will be mixed together with LABELS.
Import from Quick Links Lab is supported 1-by-1 and in bulk by clicking the icon next to the quick link.

- (2020-03-10) Luciano Panepucci: This extension saved my life. Thank you!!!!!
- (2018-12-27) Aviral Sharma: Makes unread label works!! My label: -👁️🗨️- Unread Inbox : search/is:unread label:inbox
- (2018-12-04) It mostly works great, but if my search includes the + character, that gets omitted when I click on the link. Specifically, I search for subject:c++ and that ends up as subject:c, which matches a lot more things...
- (2018-09-22) Guido Makor: Very nice, works well and fits into the Gmail labeling system better than the original Labs feature, IMHO. I'd give it 5 stars if a label QuickLinks was created by the plugin (or better yet: let the user choose the name) and all created quick links were created hierarchically under that label. Maybe even with a nice little link icon to make it stand out ;-)
- (2018-03-24) Dwight Brooks: I'll add my voice to the "does not work" group. Clicking the button, as so many others have said, just shows a tooltip saying, "Go to Gmail and create some quick links." How's this helpful?
- (2018-02-21) Daniel Murray: Thank you for this! Unbelievable that Google doesn't let you show only unread mail when you click the label. The only down side to using this addon is that it doesn't show the number as "(#)" at the end of the label to show you how many unread mails there are currently under that filter.
- (2018-02-10) n ascentt: Unfortunately doesn't work at all. Was really pleased to find this addon clims to do exactly what I wanted. But all it does is show a tooltip saying "Go to gmail and create some quick links".
- (2017-10-17) Robert Smith: GREAT REPLACEMENT!
- (2017-08-17) Martin Saxer: To make the new labels work similarly to the Quick Links lab I grouped them under a "Quick Links" label and set that label to "Show".
- (2017-08-16) Peter Dunn: Works as advertised. Thanks for making this.
- (2017-08-10) Wei-Hsuan Chen: I tried to find an alternative since Google planned to shut down the The Quick Links Lab. That is how I found this extension. You saved my day. Thanks a lot!
- (2017-08-09) Benjamin Peng (Ben): Thanks, totally saved the best feature in Gmail
