YouTube Title Fixer

Fixes a severely broken UI flaw in YouTube by removing the annoying and unnecessary "(X)" from page titles. Seriously, I have 15 tabs in a row showing "(1) ...", obscuring the actual page titles. This is just stupid.

YouTube Title Fixer

This is an extremely simple script.

Actually, it's more of a much-needed bug fix, as what it does is fix a severely broken UI flaw in YouTube. You may have noticed this bug when you have more than zero notifications and more than 10 tabs open.

Insert Image Here.

All the page titles say "(1) ...", and cut off before anything meaningful is conveyed. This is not useful information, especially when it's repeated 15 times in a row. Nobody needs or wants this, so my script cuts it out of the title, all titles, permanently, so a given YouTube page can properly display "Wha ..." for a video called What happens when you stuff a rabbit down a sinkhole?, instead of "(1) ...", which conveys zero information.

API

Because this will be loaded into random pages, everything is contained in an object called, appropriately, youtube_title_fixer. The object exposes two functions:

kill  kills the loop
init  starts the loop (called automatically on page load)

TL;DR

It removes the annoying and unnecessary "(1)" shit from YouTube page titles.
