GMail seems to have opened a vector to amplify dark patterns by placing action buttons on messages. My least favorite is the LinkedIn accept invitation button, which I've clicked now several times by accident because I've spent years using GMail without it taking actions like opening GitHub PRs and accepting LinkedIn invites.
I can't find a way to disable this feature. Does anybody know how?
- greenhatman 7y agoNot sure this is a GMail feature. This would technically be possible with any HTML link styled like a button.
- blr246 7y agoIt's built into the inbox view, so GMail is extracting the action from the message content and placing a button on the row element. Sorry if that wasn't clear from my initial post.
