Gmail Finally Has a Delete Button
Google's Gmail program offers a lot of storage. So much storage, in fact, that they assumed you'd never delete anything. So sure were they of this, they hid the delete button in a drop down menu, forcing you to work way to click twice to delete a message:
While it may be true that you don't need to delete anything, ever, what's the point in keeping emails that have no historical value?
Clearly, users want to easily delete emails they no longer need. Firefox took things into their own hands by figuring out a way to add their own delete button using a Greasemonkey script, making up for Gmail's shortcoming. It's good to see Google listening and learning from their users, by adding this common sense feature to their application.
They were amazingly slow to catch on to this simple request. How many people would they have to watch use their site before they'd figure this out?

It is nice to see Google listening to its users. That really was confusing since it's launch.
