    There are ads in Gmail?

    I guess I’ve been using ad blockers for far too long…

      Yes… They don’t seem to show up in the primary tab, but they’re there nonetheless. Nowhere is safe, and nothing is sacred.

        If you’re seeing ads, install an ad blocker. I haven’t seen a Gmail ad in well over a decade.

          I DO have an ad blocker. I still ended up seeing an ad, that one time. It might’ve been on mobile. Or I might have had my ad block turned off. Either way, I’ve gone out of my way to make sure I never see an ad in my email again. Used mobile devtools to uninstall the Gmail client, Firefox with uBlock add-on, etc…
