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?
Gmail replies with an email immediately after you receive a new message. This feature is called "Vacation Auto-Responder." It is enabled and disabled manually; don't forget to disable the Auto-Responder when you return to your computer, otherwise Gmail will continue to automatically respond to your emails.
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".)
