Notifications are showed in the user menu popout. Is your user constantly staring at the menu?

In another topic you are complaining about the space some elements take on smaller screens, but here you want an extra button next to every notification so the user who stares at his static notifications pane, can delete them one by one?

The dismiss button does it’s job and I would be very annoyed if every notification has a small button next to it.
