Script Summary: Disable Gmail's "Consider including" email recipient recommendation functionality and other annoyances.
Version: 1.04
As of Version 1.01, a couple of other annoyances are also removed. This script does not, and will never, serve as an ad-blocker, UI-customizer or anything else. Gmail is great, except for the parts which aren't, which are hidden. Please note there is also now a disclaimer/terms of use statement at the bottom of this page.
- Version 1.04 compensates for additional changes relating to the "new look." It seems they may be transitioning to a new naming structure. Please leave a comment if you discover issues.
- Version 1.03 should fix some intermittent complaints relating to Gmail's "new look."
- Version 1.02 includes the 1.01 edit and also alters "Your message has been sent. Invite [recipient] to Gmail." so that it only reads, "Your message has been sent."(screenshot below)
- Version 1.01 <strike>removes "Switch Friends to Gmail" link.</strike> Gmail has mercifully removed this content, rendering this particular version moot.
As of this version, the script uses both CSS hiding properties (visibility: hidden and display:none)(screenshot below). - A future version of this script might include a "click for recommendations" option which would toggle the suggestions, but probably not. You know who you want to contact.

DISCLAIMER:
This script is provided without any warranty. It is built by identifying the containers for obnoxious HTML and setting their CSS visibility to hidden. This approach is predicated on Google's excellent CSS code, which they may change at any time.
You also need to decide for yourself whether using this, or any other script affecting how Gmail is displayed on your computer, may implicate Google's Terms of Service. If you install this script you do so voluntarily and the author shall have no responsibility if fiery hell rains down from Mountain View and Sergey Brin himself shows up at your door in person to aggressively and violently hold you personally responsible for everything wrong in the world from contract breach to Google Wave.
