Superscripted numbers cluttering my add-ons' icons

[Odin2]

Some icons in my add-on bar carry these annoying numbers, which seem to be counts of some sort. What's the function of these numbers, and can I remove them?

[kerft]

Some addons like adblockers often have numbers of how many things they have blocked. Each addon will have its own control of its own function, for most right clicking on the extension's icon and doing "manage extension" will give a panel with options. Ublock origin is an exception. To get to its menu, you left click not right click it, then click the rightmost icon which is labeled "open the dashboard" and has three tiny slider controls on its icon. In there, there is an option to turn off "show the number."

These little numbers seem strangely to come and go. Right now I have "3" at the ABP icon (and none at any other). ABP does not, as far as I can see, offer any exlanation or removal instructions in its documentation. It does not seem that the numbers convey any useful information, and I'd really like to get rid of them.

Are any of those 'other' addons blockers like ADP... if so, then you should probably use just one blocker extension.

None.

I thought I remembered adblock plus having an option in its options to turn off numbers on the icon.

Note that these numbers are called badges.

Odin2,
If you open Ad Block Plus' "OPTIONS/SETTINGS",
& go to > Advanced > Customizations,
there's an option to turn off/UN-check the "Show number of ads blocked in icon"
as noted just above....^^, ^.

[Odin2]

LIMPET235, you're right again. Thanks! I guess I didn't dig deep enough into the options. (One can argue that whether to change the appearance of the icon should be an "advanced" option, but I have to admit that's not much of an excuse.)

[LIMPET235]

No probs. Some options are hard to find....sometimes.
Maybe the author just added features that they thought might be helpful & not an annoyance.

&, You're welcome...
