How to get rid of the Etsy "activity" number

[branchandroot]

So, you know how the "new and improved" Etsy has an "activity" item in the menu bar? And how every time you do anything, like add an item to favorites, that item gets a little number over it and the number doesn't go away until you click on it? And if you click you just get a look at your own activity feed, which tells you absolutely nothing you didn't already know because it was your own activity for pity's sake?

There's a way to get rid of that number.

You'll need a browser that lets you use user styles. In Firefox, this means the Stylish plugin for greatest ease. In everything else, this means making a document and directing your browser to use it in your preferences.

So, cut and paste this into a Stylish user style for Firefox:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("etsy.com") {

#main-nav #activity span.count { display: none !important; }

}

Or else cut and paste this into a text document for everything else, and name/save the file according to the directions linked above for your browser:

#main-nav #activity span.count { display: none !important; }

And, lo, the little number will go away.
