Method 4: Using a third-party browser extension

There are several browser extensions available that can help you unthread Gmail messages. For example, you can try the "Unthread Gmail" extension for Chrome or the "Gmail Unthreader" extension for Firefox.

Important note: Unthreading Gmail messages can affect the conversation history and make it harder to follow the conversation. Before unthreading a message, make sure you have a good reason to do so and that you're prepared to potentially lose the conversation history.
