Super Clean(ify) your Gmail!
April 19th, 2007
OK, folks–check it out: I’m not the world’s biggest Greasemonkey fan. Most of the userscripts written for Greasemonkey are pretty…well, pointless–especially those written for Gmail–or downright destructive. Using one of the “persistent search” scripts effectively shut down my Gmail account for almost three days because it kept reloading the page so many times, the site thought I was a spambot and locked my account! But, nevertheless, every once in a while you find a script that is just amazing because it adds useful functionality, removes a petty annoyance, or just enhances a page in some way. Gmail Super Clean is the best script I think I’ve ever encountered, because it does all three.
Fundamentally, GSC is just a different skin for Gmail: a very clean, minimalistic, and more attractive skin than the useful, but admittedly bland, native Gmail look. But the great power of GSC is that it not only prettifies Gmail, it also streamlines the interface still more, making it even easier to use the site. Truly, the power of a stripped-down, ultra-minimalist approach toward webdesign can never be overestimated. In this age of bloated, confusing, overstuffed indices and frontpages, Google’s apps have always stood forth as an amazing example of just how good basic, clean webpage design can be. But, that said…it could always be better. And that’s just what Gmail Super Clean brings to the table.
So, check it out! I’m quite sold on it, and chances are, you will be, too.
