Warren Hogue (ID: 000000b62abfa31c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/24/2022 I've hated the way labels work for years. This allows me to filter a bunch of types of email and then have the important ones like messages from the boss or specific coworkers at the top. Very handy.

Bill Pasnau (ID: 00000060aa93db9d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/09/2021 3.5 stars. Seems to always require a page refresh before it works, which kind of defeats the point of less clicking. Although, it's VERY nice having my commonly used filters as tabs instead of having to scroll through all filters to find the one I want.

Himali Tech (ID: 000000bd6e8d4f92) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/24/2020 Loved it. It's a must have extension to organize your Labels and for easy access. Also, using an open-source project gives me peace of mind that my data isn't harvested and sold.
