New Gmail suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkks

[13Gigatons]

I can't believe the speed at which Google is destroying themselves.

The new Gmail is being forced on everyone now and it is just awful. It's slow and laggy and completely ruins my workflow.

Appears I'm not the only one: Gmail's new look - YouTube

66,926 likes, 54,781 dislikes

PS: I use to love Gmail, now I hate it.

My List::
1. Frames suck...I hate them. It just eats up usable space.
2. The ugly generic function icons across the top. Hard to identify.
3. The auto-collapsing labels are really annoying.
4. Themes are eyesores compared with the old ones.
5. SLOW and laggy feel of it compared with the older UI.

I'm also hating the "new" gmail look, just like I hate the "new" yahoo e-mail.

I don't understand why they feel the need to fuck with something that works perfectly.

Change is good, but when you're just doing cosmetic change just for the hell of it in the name of "progress." You can keep the change.

The new Yahoo has always sucked. I bookmarked this link (C/P it) before it started shoving the new look down everyone's throats, it takes me straight to the old inbox look.

Thanks, link has been bookmarked AND copied to text document just in case.

 

[Lifted]

You guys can still revert to the old look? I've been reverting ever since they started with this shit, but just a few days ago they've forced the new theme on me. No more option to revert back.

F U Google.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

Did this change just happen? Mine looks the same as usual...

 

[postmortemIA]

as long as it supports IMAP, I couldn't care less.

 

[13Gigatons]

I can't revert anymore...they removed that option.

Question for Gmail users, do you use FireFox or Chrome?

IE, Opera, Safari and Lynx users need not reply.

Just hope that Yahoo doesn't find a way to "fix" that...

I use Chrome. Used FF until Chrome came out, I just prefer the way Chrome looks to FF.

RossMan start your own thread. Thanks.

I fucking hate people doing shits just for jobs security. If the shit didn't break, don't try to "fix" it. You can innovate, but not by changing colors or completely break shits.

Use your time to do something else more constructive!

If I'm king for one day, all those people that sit around and think of useless shits to do to justify their existence, will die a horrible and painful death.

I was a very loyal Opera user who switched to Chrome when I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. It's uncluttered, fast and I also like the way it looks. Firefox is still king of extensions but Chrome Webstore is quickly getting up there.

I love Chrome except for one major gripe .. the title bar doesn't show at the very top. So if you have 20 threads open, I have to scoll to the top to see the thread title. Any fix for this?

Are you talking about how it just says "Anandtech Forums" on the tab?

High Contrast seemed better than Light. You get some gray instead of all that white.

Yeah...that sucks. Why fix it if it ain't broke?

 

[QueBert]

Charles Barkley or Cleveland Brown would call the new Gmail turrrrible.

 

[Veliko]

It looks the same for me so presumably these are the changes that have been optional for a while.

The 'new' look is far better. The old one was horrendous. Put it down to the compact setting and it is nice enough.
