If you are using Gmail in the browser, you have probably mistakenly hit the Archive button. Why? Because Google decided to put a rarely used button in the most prominent section in the email list. Google, of course, gives you a great handy dandy way to remove this button (a Hover button as they call it). How? Go into settings and remove all Hover Buttons. Wtf? Remove all buttons. I just want to remove one. Too bad. SOL!

Here is an easy way to remove that stupid button from Chrome!

  1. Install the User JavaScript and CSS Chrome extension.
  2. Create a new style sheet rule for mail.google.com with the following CSS code.
    li[data-tooltip="Archive"] { display:none !important; }
