I think, per Zero to One, Thiel (for one) would argue otherwise. Take away search (read: ads on SERPs) and Google is close to an average, if not subpar, "success story."
Take away the iPhone and Apple is a failing computer manufacturer. Take away Windows and Microsoft is a mediocre console maker and makes Office. So?
Sounds a lot like Gmail Labs, which was discontinued. I've learned to expect most Google products to be killed off, so I don't even bother starting to use them anymore.
If there's one product that would incite the most furor if killed off, it's definitely Gmail.
It's the best email provider around and email is what ties together most peoples' online lives.
It's also at the core of Gsuite for businesses, which I imagine makes it net profitable.
Is Inbox another abandoned Google product?
I don't know what's needed but the paradigm needs to shift, or something, it just seems like yet another incremental plug-in that will inevitably die or be underused.

Hey, I'm the Tech Lead of the team that runs .google. Can you provide more information? What browser are you using? Can you use some tool like https://ipleak.net/ to determine what DNS servers you're hitting? And can you try some of these other domain names on other TLDs and report back? https://nomulus.foo https://nic.dev https://pki.goog/
Hi, thanks. None of those 3 sites open here. What kind of information do you need from ipleak.net? DNS Address - 1 server 45.62.204.178 Canada Canada
It does seem like you're having DNS problems. See the following:
$ dig @45.62.204.178 blog.google
; > DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.16-Ubuntu > @45.62.204.178 blog.google
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Even stranger, against your configured DNS server, requests for non-existent .google domains do work correctly, as does nic.google and sites on many of the rest of our TLDs (e.g. get.how and iam.soy). nic.dev and bar.foo do work for me but pki.goog and nomulus.foo do not.
It looks to me like you're having DNS problems. Can you switch your DNS settings? Or use a VPN that does that built-in?
Also, why, if you're in Brasil, are you hitting a DNS server located in Canada?

I'm going to use this space to complain that there's still not a way to delete single messages on Android instead of the whole thread. This is possible on the web, and I've been asking Gmail for this simple function for years, yet they continue to avoid adding it in.
What?!? I do it all the time, just a simple swipe left and it is deleted. You just need to change the default from archive to delete on the settings panel.

I hope you kept the receipt on this rebuttal because you're going to need to trade it in. It's ok to just use a piece of software without expectations that it will always be there. Just enjoy it for what it is now. It's also ok to make friends knowing that they might not be there one day. Just enjoy life for what it is now.
You're misusing the analogy. Google is the friend, and Google product X is the friend's promise, and since the friend has broken promises Y, Z, A, B, C, D, E... in the past, eventually one stops believing the friend's promises. So now, when the friend says, "Hey, meet me at $PLACE tonight at $TIME and we'll do $ACTIVITY," you say, "Yeah, right," and don't bother to go, because there's a good chance he won't show up,…
Gmail is consolidating their dominance with stuff like this. If things start replacing email communication, gmail will just provide it on top which moves us further and further from a standards compliant SMTP GUI that email was. I haven't found an email client that reliably renders most html, yet we have addons and soon maybe Android apps in your email.
But I don't see that happening with advanced email features. It alls happening outside of the email itself ad is part of the email application.
