Google GMail Extension - What Are the Benefits of Using the GMail Extension?

This is an open-source browser extension from the developers at Google. It’s free to download, use, and share. 

What are the benefits of using the GMail extension?

Save time: The feature shows all Google services and websites as buttons next to your address bar. This is similar to the browser extensions we use every day. The buttons will appear as soon as you open a new website or start using a Google service.

Reach the most used services: The GMail feature displays the current email address you have and saves you from having to remember the website or service you're on.

Access to most services and websites: You can access the services and websites you use every day from a variety of Google products.

No need to install a browser extension: The app will install itself automatically when you open a website that uses it.

Secure: The app communicates securely with Google servers and doesn't store or share your information.
