Hide Gemini Extension

This CSS-only extension hides most persistent elements of Gemini from Google properties, including Docs, Drive, and GMail. Note that this extension only hides UI elements; it does not affect any backend calls or disable the product in its entirety. To avoid potential compatibility issues, it does not attempt to hide one-time promotional messages (like the first time “try using Gemini for X” popups) and only focuses on hiding the main persistent UI elements that activate the product.
