Remove YouTube™ Tab Number

This extension removes the notification count that YouTube displays in parentheses on browser tabs. When you have multiple YouTube tabs open, each tab shows a number indicating unread notifications, which can make it hard to distinguish between tabs at a glance. This tool dynamically strips that number and the surrounding parentheses from any new YouTube tab you open after installation.

Key Features

• Automatic removal: Once installed, the extension automatically removes the notification count from every new YouTube tab you open. You don't need to click anything or configure settings-it works in the background.
• Cleaner tab bar: With the numbers gone, your tab bar becomes more visually organized, making it easier to identify the specific YouTube video or page you want to switch to.
• Better bookmarking: When you bookmark a YouTube tab, the saved link no longer includes the notification number, so your bookmarks look cleaner and are easier to recognize.
• Reduced distraction: If you find the constant reminder of unread notifications distracting or stressful, this extension helps you focus on the content you're viewing without that visual clutter.
• No official setting needed: Currently, YouTube does not provide a built-in option to disable this tab number. This extension serves as a practical workaround for users who prefer not to see it.

This extension is ideal for anyone who frequently works with multiple YouTube tabs, wants a tidier browsing experience, or simply finds the notification count unnecessary. It's a lightweight solution that does exactly one thing-removes the number-without affecting any other functionality of YouTube.
