What's a decent IMAP client that supports labels properly?
I use notmuch[1] with lieer[2]. Notmuch maintains a tags database with full-text search indexing for a set of maildirs, and Lieer uses the GMail API to synchronize messages with a maildir and labels with notmuch tags. There are lots of notmuch frontends available, but I use the built-in Emacs frontend. [1]: https://notmuchmail.org/ [2]: https://github.com/gauteh/lieer
Seems like a ublock origin bug. Proposed solution here: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/t2n77i/gmail_...
It's an EasyPrivacy bug? That list is developed with ridiculously cavalier attitude. A few months ago they blocked workers.dev wholesale[1], that is, the entirety of Cloudflare Workers, for some sort of third party request on torrentfreak.com. I was flooded with user reports that day, and several days afterwards thanks to list caching. I was shocked that people who seemingly have no idea of public suffixes are tasked…
I guess the moral of the story to me (TIL) is that there really is no limit to the places that Hanlon's razor (do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity) can pop up in the most cognitively-dissonant ways :v
I suggest you practice browser isolation and use chrome only for Google logged in services without ublock. Use other private browsers for other stuff with ublock (Librewolf or brave).
Keep in mind that you can always create a second browser profile just for your email. This profile then doesn't require an ad blocker.
This is an wake-up call for everyone to migrate to other email service providers. Google only cares about invading our privacy, showing ads and making money. Thre's no reason to use products from a company like that.

Good advice. What I usually do is also create a few chrome profiles. One for Discord, one for Gmail, one for Shopping, etc. Firefox is also great for this kind of thing with custom container tabs.
Might be a good idea to switch to an IMAP client instead?

I do recall reading somewhere that these days Thunderbird does deduplicate messages with multiple labels, but I haven't tested whether it is indeed true.
