How to block ads in Gmail is getting more complex as new Gmail advertisement is more intrusive than ever, in your mailbox, in your Gmail app, everywhere. But we've got a solution!

Perhaps ironically, the article itself is an ad.

To save anyone a click, it tells you to uncheck "promotions" and "social" in gmail settings. (I can tell you from personal experience that Google's willingness to respect this setting is dodgy.)

It also suggests using a non-chromium browser with an adblocker.

This isn't in the article, but obviously using an email client like Thunderbird might help.

It finishes by suggesting you to try Tuta(tm) Mail for free! Which, after reading this needlessly wordy article only to be hit with an ad, I've just decided I will never ever do.

Meh, it's just ad copy.

Use your own email client instead of their crappy web UI or app.
