## Description

If you want to turn off YouTube's new "Important" notifications section and see all alerts in a single, chronological list, this Chrome extension does exactly that. It removes the separate Important Notifications area in YouTube's notification popup and returns notifications to their original time-sorted order for a clearer, simpler feed.

The extension works in most languages (sorting is most accurate in English) and is lightweight and unobtrusive. A userscript version is also available for other managers and workflows, making it easy to install on different platforms or browsers.
