To permanently remove it, we will use a trick with Adblock Plus Chrome extention or Firefox Addon. Fundamentally, we are hiding it with the incredibly useful Adblock Plus tweak, which will also hide Gmail ads and ads on other sites. Just add the following filter to remove it: mail.google.com##div[class=”w-asK w-atd”] If you are a greasemonkey fan, you can instead install this simple script but unfortunately, this solution is available to Firefox only. For Chrome or Safari, you will have to install NinjaKit first. UPDATE: Some of you complained that this method did not work for them. This is because Gmail team keeps on changing class names. To find the latest class name, right click on the box in Chrome and select “Inspect Element”. Look for the name of the class and change filter accordingly. Right now the class name is “w-asK w-atd” which, I will be keep on updating from time to time. Does anyone have a better idea? Feel free to share with us in comments or the forum.
