Tips:
- Use the keyboard shortcuts! This userstyle expects that you do; it's pretty much unusable otherwise. More details:

- If you're using Stylish, you can temporarily show the hidden features by turning off Stylish. Click the Stylish icon and select Turn all styles off. When you're done, select Turn all styles on. Bonus tip: if you do this often, add a keyboard shortcut with keyconfig: http://snarfed.org/firefox_keyconfig_extension
- You can hide individual labels in the GMail settings Labels tab: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/labels . This includes built in labels like Starred, Important, Chats, Circles, etc.
