This extension brings back an estimated dislike count and ratio, just like the good old days.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month, <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-to-remove-dislike-button\/\">Google announced they were removing the YouTube dislike count,<\/a> to the dismay of most of the internet. This is an issue as it removes the glanceable information that shows whether a video is worth your time. Luckily there&#8217;s an extension for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.returnyoutubedislike.com\/\">Return YouTube Dislike<\/a> is a web extension for <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/return-youtube-dislikes\/\"><strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Firefox<\/strong><\/a> and <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/return-youtube-dislike\/gebbhagfogifgggkldgodflihgfeippi\">all Chromium browsers such as <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Chrome<\/strong>, <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Edge<\/strong>, <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Opera<\/strong> and <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">Brave<\/strong>.<\/a> <a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.returnyoutubedislike.com\/install\">Head here for other unsupported platforms and third party implementation on jailbroken iOS.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does it work? Until earlier this week, Return YouTube Dislike used YouTube&#8217;s Data API to gather the dislike numbers and display them to users. All of this data was saved by the extension&#8217;s database. Now the dislike count is removed from the API, the extension displays a combination of archived dislike stats, estimates extrapolated from extension user data and estimates based on view\/like ratio. For this reason, the dislikes displayed aren&#8217;t 100% accurate, especially on newer and small videos with limited data, however it&#8217;s the best you&#8217;re getting until YouTube bring back the dislike count&#8230; You may be waiting a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1238\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-16-at-14.27.07.png\" alt=\"YouTube Rewind 2018\"s like to dislike ratio\" class=\"wp-image-89653 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missing dislikes on YouTube?
