I used Simplify Gmail for the 30 day period of their free trial and I can say it was a delight! It didn't even ask me to make an account, and it looks like it simply added CSS to the Gmail and it also uses minimal permissions.
If I had the extra money laying around, I'd defo give 'em since I use my gmail quite a lot. The new UI makes navigation a lot, lot easier and it also reduces lag, in my experience. It also removes a lot of the annoying things about gmail, like the other google services...

What is Simplify Gmail?
WHO MADE THIS? Simplify was made by me, Michael Leggett, with some help from friends. I was Gmail's lead designer from 2008 to 2012 and co-founded Google Inbox. I've been writing Chrome extensions for years to simplify the apps I use but have only ever shared them with friends. With the unfortunate demise of Google Inbox, I wanted bring the simplified email experience to Gmail.
IS IT SAFE? I'm glad you asked. You should always be super careful what extensions or apps you use with your email. Simplify is mostly some CSS plus a little Javascript to apply the CSS. There are no trackers. No data is sent or shared. No ads ever. Promise. And all the code can be inspected on Github.
I'VE GOT FEEDBACK Gmail has a lot of features and even more 3rd party plug-ins. This may not work for you and that's ok. For everyone else, I'll do my best to update the extension as Gmail's code changes and hope to simplify other apps in the future. You can send feedback to hi.simplify@gmail.com or @leggett, and I'll do my best to respond.

If I had the extra money laying around, I'd defo give 'em since I use my gmail quite a lot. The new UI makes navigation a lot, lot easier and it also reduces lag, in my experience. It also removes a lot of the annoying things about gmail, like the other google services you don't care about on the sidebar (unless you choose to have them there).
I'd say that the plans aren't anything crazy at all, for an international user like myself, it's actually really affordable compared to other similar services. I believe in dollars it is 3 usd per month, or 2 usd x month annually for the individual plan, which is the cheapest and honestly the only one you'll need if you aren't a business with employees.
Better UI than standard
