Limit the number of times the Rapportive contextual gadget is shown on long Gmail conversations
When you have a long conversation in Gmail the entire tab in Chrome freezes while rapportive loads all the data. So if rapportive could detect how many are loading and then just limit itself that would be awesome.
Hi Tim, thanks for your feedback. We’d love to do this, but as far as I’m aware, Google doesn’t give us any way of doing this. Our gadget can’t even detect how many times it is shown on a conversation!
An alternative to the contextual gadget I can recommend our browser extension (for Firefox, Chrome or Safari) which you can download from http://rapportive.com — it shows one sidebar next to the whole conversation, instead of a separate gadget for each message, and it is also more fully-featured.
