Fast and light which it currently is not. It was also pretty easy to find and read your email, which it currently is not.

- dietr1ch 4y agoYou can still opt-in into the ancient HTML UI. It's really lightweight and network-bandwidth friendly, but not having shortcuts for some basic actions makes it a little bit too arcane and sometimes way slower than just paying the resource costs. I wish there was a better balance between both UIs. The "better looking" one wastes too much resources (CPU, memory, screen space).
- alias_neo 4y agoThanks, I didn't know that, I think I'll switch it back. It's not about resource cost for me, I use high end hardware and fast connections (coupled with ad and script blockers, both in-browser and at network level, which are probably adding to the frustration) and not only does it load and run like complete crap, I literally couldn't find an email I knew was there in my "inbox" last time I opened it. I only use Gmail/Workspace for family/personal stuff so I just use mobile apps 99% of the time now, but if I had to use it more regularly I'd be quite annoyed. Not that Office 365 which I use for work is any better in a web browser.
