How to disable Smart Reply in the new Gmail? - gmail

I like the new Gmail, and I like Inbox form Gmail, but I really cannot stand the "Smart Replies" feature, those poor already-made replies at the bottom of messages.
In the mobile app it is possible to disable the feature, but I cannot understand why this is not possible in the web version!
How can I disable Smart Reply?

UPDATE 10/1/18: You can now disable Smart Reply from Gmail's General Settings page. Scroll down to the Smart Reply section.
(PRIOR HACK FOR DISABLING: Use adblock. You can use Adblock for Chrome or any other adblock browser extension. It is just a div element with class="brb". If you want to add it manually the custom filter is mail.google.com##DIV[class="brb"], but depending on which extension you use you can usually right click the smart reply element and select "block".)

How to get support tab for Google Chrome extension

I'm not sure if this is the correct exchange for this questions as I don't think it is explicitly programming related, but I can't think of a better place to ask the question.
I keep seeing this tab for chrome extensions that allows users to ask questions, suggest things or submit problems:
I haven't been able to find anything in the developer dashboard or in documentation about this tab. I know that I can get a support tab with a link by adding a url to the support link field in the project settings, but I can't figure out how to get the functionality shown here.
Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard
Click in the link:
Edit your User Feedback preferences: User Feedback is disabled
And then enable it.
It's the same answer for Where does the Chrome web store "Support" tab come from?, it works for Apps and extensions.

Tab-specific, non-intrusive notification in a chrome extension

I'm developing a chrome extension. When the user goes to the options page, they might modify a setting which will require them to refresh any tabs they have in which they're using the extension. So if the user changes one of these settings, then goes back to a tab which requires a refresh, I'd like to notify them of this in a non-intrusive way.
Is there a part of the API specifically for doing this sort of thing, or some other recommended way of doing it? I was thinking of maybe a little message that comes down from the top of the page, but can be closed, or a popup coming out of the browser action.
You have many options.. To name a few:
Do not require it. As much as you can, make the (presumably) content script adapt to new settings. It's by far a better UX - in some cases.
Least intrusive would probably be to update a browser action / page action icon if you use one.
Both APIs allow a per-tab change of icon/badge. You could also animate it a little to bring attention.
An in-page notification injected into the DOM. Some sort of toast or <dialog>.
Watch tab changes with chrome.tabs events, and do something on activation of affected tab, such as a chrome.notifications notification.

Writing Gmail Chrome Extesion

I'm interesting in developing Chrome Extension for Gmail.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any tutorials on this subject (demonstrating a simple action as adding a button).
I'm looking for adding a button to the compose toolbar, and creating a new tag/folder in gmail account.
Please, Help!
You should check out these APIS at https://github.com/joscha/gmailr, it is a fork of https://github.com/jamesyu/gmailr but the original author has been too busy to update it.

Focus Omnibar in Google Chrome

How do I bring the Omnibar into focus in Google Chrome after a given event?
I've heard API support for the Omnibar is rather limited, but is this possible?
From the Google Chrome Extensions Omnibox Documentation:
The omnibox API allows you to register a keyword with Google Chrome's address bar, which is also known as the omnibox.
Unfortunately, that's the extent of what's possible. You can only specify the response to the user's query with a keyword you've registered, nothing else. Their discussion groups confirm that there are no current plans to add any more functionality.

How to remove IE toolbar and menu bar

We have a asp.net web application which will be used in an intranet environment on IE 6. We want to change the default configuration of the browser so that it's always rendered without the Tool Bars, Menu Bars and Address Bar, just the browser window frame and the status bar should be present.
We were looking at the IEAK toolkit for IE6 but it doesn't seem to have the option of turning all this off though you can turn off certain menus and toolbar options.
Any ideas of how this can be done, is there a group policy setting or something that we can utilize here to get this done?
Thanks for your help.
You have to handle the showing of toolbars, address bar,... before the page is loaded, because it's built client side.
So to solve your problem, I think you should write the first page (Enter page for example) Then when use click on the Enter link you open another page using VBScript or Javascript to remove toolbars, address bar,...
Hope this helps ^^
Have you investigated Kiosk Mode?
Also, you're deploying IE6 at the wrong end of its lifecycle.
It also sounds like your requirement is for an app you're developing; mandating that the browser is configured this way for all sites might make the customers unhappy. If you want to know how to open a browser window without those things for your site, from your site, I'd suggest a repost to StackOverflow.
