When W (ID: 00000010e2ae54fa) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/25/2021 been using many years and a few months ago, when gmail started showing up as 'google workspace' instead, on its splash screen when logging in and loading, it shows error 'try again or logout' seeing that this hasn't been updated since 2014, i guess even google forgot it exists in the webstore, and all the devs associated with it quit, moved, or were fired from goog. goog sux so bad the past few years now. do no evil. lol.
