Yeah the Gmail UI has become absolute garbage lately. The fact that i need to see a cute-dystopian loading animation for 2 seconds each time i reload the page is incredible. Send plain HTML, then make JS take over after loading like most modern frameworks can do. .. yes i really have to ditch Google .. On a sidenote YT has also become a dystopian addiction machine - years ago you could easily curate what you saw, feeds, channels etc, now everything is controlled by the "google god skinner box algo" just like i feel Gmail is headed towards with all kinds of automated tools.
