Gmail's new sidebar is coming

Gmail is getting a new look, which is mainly a new sidebar all the way to the left to force you to see Chat, Spaces, and Meet whether you use them or not. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022...r-google-chat/

Sigh...

I wish these companies would stop forcing stuff on us. I do not use any of that stuff.

Same here, but at least you can apparently leave it on the current version for now. I haven't actually seen the new version yet. Some things are better if they just stay the same! For example, this morning in my spam folder was the old, traditional email offering me a large fee for helping some royal person in Africa transfer a large sum of money. Just like the good ol' days!

Neither do I, but I guess that's the price we have to pay for using free email accounts

Apparently you have to turn on Google Chat in the settings in order to see the new inbox look. I don't use Chat so have it turned off.
