1An empty inbox? What's that?– Rebecca ChernoffCommented Jul 16, 2010 at 13:02

An empty inbox is the result of weeks upon weeks of creating various filters and labels, as well as manually trawling through thousands of emails from the last 6 years. Finally achieved victory last night, only to be greeted by this garish link to Google News! Pfft, some reward :)– Chris McAtackneyCommented Jul 16, 2010 at 14:15

No way to do it within the available settings (public Gmail and Apps). You'll have to do something client-side (eg via GreaseMonkey).

Thanks for the tip - I'll look into GreaseMonkey and see if I can develop a script to do this myself. Cheers Commented Jul 16, 2010 at 11:09
You can use adblock plus as well. A bit simpler than GreaseMonkey because you just click and block.

The OP isn't asking how to block an actual news feed, just how to get rid of a line of text GMail writes to the page. Commented Jul 16, 2010 at 15:36

1Correct, and you can do this using adblock. Adblock can block any page elements that have a pattern or ID. So you can use it to block the div that the line of text is in. I have done just that, and it works in two easy clicks.– dryeCommented Jul 16, 2010 at 16:30

1is right - that's an AdBlock filter rule to hide this element:
