The Simplify extension reorders different features to be more intuitive, with the implementation of drop-down menus and sidebars saving space, while key features like 'Delete' are featured at the top bar instead. Additionally, the extension "[eliminates color-coded labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calendar-color), and places the create new mail button in the bottom right corner, where the new mail window opens." Completely free to download with no ads featured, Simplify is a great option for Gmail users who are frustrated with certain aspects of the email service's user design.
