Summary
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.
