One problem I've run up against is while in the email program, sometimes my mouse resizes the size of the pane and I can't stop it. How can I stop that? Again, great presentation.

    Thanks. Really like the one about turning off that stupid "chat" and "meet". That's been annoying me for quite some time.
    There is one "feature" you didn't mention, and I admit I didn't scroll through to see if someone else has or if you already covered it in another video.
    Turning off the "Inbox/categories". I had a Craigslist account and a bunch of people replied, asking about an item I posted. I didn't see some of the replies because it put them in a "Promotions" category/tab. Why would anyone want this? It caused quite a bit of confusion for me until I changed it to have only the "Primary" checkbox on.
