>gmail.com -> gmail.com (HTML version) gmail used to have an option to set HTML as default, but it seems like it's gone. Only way to get HTML is to click on a link that's available during loading, nothing in the settings to make it permanent.

You can definitely make it permanent, it's permanent on my account. Can't remember what I did now...

After you've clicked on it, there's a bar at the top with an option to "Set basic HTML as default view"

    It still displays "Load basic HTML (for slow connections)" at the right bottom section of the loading page. :/

      Yes it does. Like I said in my first comment, I have to click it every time I load gmail, because "Set basic HTML as default view" is gone.

    Thanks a lot! This was the only thing I missed from the JS version, but it wasn't worth the slowdown/heaviness that that version brought with it. Now this gives me the best of both worlds.

      Thanks. I just noticed a bug though: You can enter the search field by moving all the way to the top pressing arrow up or k. And then you can defocus the search field by pressing escape. This works now and I posted it on GreaseFork. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/389680-google-mail-gmail-basic-html-version-keyboard-shortcuts https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/389680-google-mail-gmail-b...
