Right click, block element.
For most cases that works fine, but it looks like the xpath uses generated identifiers, so any time they push a change to the Gmail UI the rule won't match any more.
Can you go up a level and block more vaguely?
No, same issue with the parent elements. Eventually you'd be blocking too widely and block the whole thing.
