Quick summary
When you open a YouTube video via a notification link, the referenced comment appears highlighted on the page. You can remove that highlight by changing the Sort by filter or by stripping the &lc= parameter from the video URL.
Steps
- Open YouTube and click a notification that links you to a comment — the comment will appear highlighted on the video page.
- To remove the highlight, open the video and switch the Sort by filter from Top to Newest to refresh the comments.
- If the highlight persists, scroll up to the video URL in your browser's address bar.
- Remove the &lc= parameter and everything after it from the URL, keeping only the base youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID address.
- Press Enter to reload the page — the comment will no longer be highlighted.
