Kindly add an option to disable the badge.

@midi you'd like to hide the number that's on the Lion? or hide the Lion icon all-together?

[midi]

@bsclifton Oh I mean the badge number. It doesn't serve a purpose to me, it's just visual clutter. Hence my surprise that it couldn't even turned off.
I'm aware of the Lion menu to turn off blocking things in case a site doesn't work.

@midi OK awesome, thanks! 😄 Love your name, BTW. I remember the old days on the internet (mid-90's) when people would embed MIDIs on their sites ❤️

@bsclifton I would like to pick this up :) I agree with @midi .There should be option to disable the blocked count badge. Can we have input on where to put option to disable it? Thanks

[bradleyrichter]

I think we should put it in the shields prefs page to avoid clutter-growth in the panel. [off/on] Display block count badge on shields button

@kumarrishav perfect! a few pointers:

• A string will need to be chosen for the setting name. see here for an example. The setting should default to true so that we keep our existing behavior
• A constant should be created for the setting. see here for an example. Notice the value is the string from the first change
• Like @bradleyrichter said, the Shields tab would be the best place 😄 You can find the code here

@kumarrishav since you've been doing such a great job (all the bug fixes / PRs you've submitted recently), I added you officially to browser-laptop as a contributor! 😄

Once you accept the invitation, you should be able to assign yourself issues and also add/remove labels from issues. GitHub doesn't have granular permissions, so please keep in mind that you also will have write access to the repository. With great power comes great responsibility 😄

Thanks @bsclifton .

@kumarrishav I think it's doing the opposite of whatever its set for. If enabled, we should see the counter.

[kumarrishav]

@philkloose yeah. It behaves like that only. If enabled then it will show the counter

[philkloose]

@kumarrishav Oh, I'm wrong, it works exactly as it should. Carry on!
