Remove Labels From Gmail For Smaller Screens

The latest Gmail Labs offering does something that Greasemonkey hackers (and our own Better Gmail extension) have long found useful—hide label tags from the inbox, freeing up more screen space for subject lines and message previews.

Head to the Labs section of Gmail’s settings and enable “Remove Labels from Subjects” to clear out label tags on messages. They’ll still show up on the actual message page/permalink, but for those with smaller screens like netbooks or tablets, or anyone who just wants more space for skimming the first bit of text from each message, it’s a nice binary switch.
