I’m slowly moving away from Gmail and Google Docs/Drive, but in the meantime entering this into uBlock Origin seems to help:

mail.google.com##div[jscontroller][jsaction]:has(> span > button[aria-label="Try Gemini"])

drive.google.com##div[jscontroller][jsaction]:has(> span > button[aria-label="Try Gemini"])

docs.google.com##div[jscontroller][jsaction]:has(> span > button[aria-label="Try Gemini"])

I use gmail at work and I see the logo in chats, email, drive, docs, and I’m not sure where else. Its annoying when I’m typing an email and it tries to get me to use it. I don’t know how to get rid of it either.

The article in this post tells the only way to get rid of it. If you use it for corporate, your IT people have to call and ask Google support to add the setting for you to be able to turn it off.

My employer is switching from Microsoft to Google for office tools next month and they’ve been championing its availability to all of us. I’m not looking forward to it…

Is it bad that I stopped using Google docs and plan on moving to OpenOffice instead?

I’d recommend libreoffice, because oracle also kinda sucks.

Kinda?

I view Oracle as worse than Google.

Thats nothing, the Play Integrity API is trying to block usage by other operating systems like CalyxOS and Graphene. Imo much more insidious and opaque.
