Remove YouTube™ Tab Number Extension

Would you prefer not to have your number of YouTube™ notifications on every YouTube™ tab?

Do all of your YouTube™ tabs look the same when you have many tabs open?
Don't want the number included in your bookmarks or saved links?
Is it information that you don't need to be reminded about?

If so, this simple Chrome extension will dynamically remove the number (and the parentheses) from any new YouTube™ tabs that you open after installing it.

I'm finding it useful while there (currently) isn't an official setting to turn this number off. I've uploaded it here in case anyone else was also looking for the \"off switch\". Hope it helps.

Eevee the Hedgehog (ID: 0000006c2cdd8ece) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/27/2022 This extension is useless now since they removed the number tab on chrome and firefox. Can you make an extension that brings it back? Make it only for chrome and firefox

Michael Glisic (ID: 000000e98d02884f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/12/2021 Works well but I would love a version for Twitter/Facebook and pretty much every site that has notification count in the tab!
