I'm a software engineer working as a full-stack developer using JavaScript, Node.js, and React. I write about my experiences in tech, tutorials, and share helpful hints.
Great idea, I have been trying to cut out notifications. I want to use websites and services on my own terms and not get distracted by the need to clear the indicator, accidentally see the notifications, then forget why I went there in the first place. Since you work for Atlassian, you may appreciate how much I despise the notification bell on Confluence, I can't escape the "Someone edited your page" or "Someone liked your page" notifications. I have CSS selector blocking for that, but it is inconsistent due to dynamic class names.
I have loaded the extension on my browser and it is working well so far. For those that want to load it in Chrome, on Github select Clone or Download > Download .ZIP > then unzip it to a folder. In Chrome navigate to More tools... > Extensions > toggle Developer Mode > Load Unpacked > select the folder.
I'm more of an email notifications person when it comes to Confluence but I agree, I have a filter set up so that those "Someone liked your page" email notifications go straight to a separate folder where I don't have to see them 😂 DEV made it easy for me with this browser extension in that their class names are static.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

Yes, it's another reason that sites which use deep-nested generated IDs and classes like "sdfhsf65324eyugas" for everything are a real pain.
