Interesting. How bad is it? I rely a lot on Google Docs, and for this very reason (and extensions) I stick with Chrome. But that said, GSuite is such a CPU/memory hog. Gmail, in particular, has been terrible recently to the point where

So glad to see this. As someone who learned both Excel and SQL on the first job (it's called being an analyst at a trading firm), I always felt that SQL was a "more powerful but clunkier cousin" of Excel and wished there was
