It's easier to disable all the garbage than remove the garbage?

Gmail has started injecting a fat "Suggestions for responding to emails" feature into my composition space. Really fucking annoying when you're trying to type something out on a phone. No idea how to begin disabling it, I couldn't find configurations anywhere in the settings.

I've had this email address for over 20 years. Not looking forward to changing it. But enshitification won't stop.

Thunderbird is ready to welcome you back. It never left. Email belongs in a dedicated apllication, not a web frontend

I access my gmail on my phone browser (I hate email apps because of how intrusive they can be), and for a while it was nice. I didn't need to enable javascript, gmail just worked.

Then they got rid of the HTML-only frontend, and so I used the javascript frontend, and gmail just worked.

Then they started adding a "Please use the App" banner every Nth time I login. For now, it's... fine.

Once they get rid of the mobile javascript frontend? Yes, I might have to try using email apps again
