Extension summary

How many times have you gone to a video only to discover that it's a total waste? Our extension allows you to take those few seconds of life you would have lost.

Throughout all videos, this extension shows a bar of likes and dislikes under every video snapshot, just like the official one. In this way, you can view the rating of the videos before watching the actual video, so that you can avoid garbage and spot amazing ones.

Key features of our extension:

★ Uses the batch data API, resulting in a lightning fast loading of the bars (all of them at a time).

★ Has an integrated Adblocker (only on youtube) to save you even more time.

★ Offers free support. If something doesn't work, just contact us, and we will fix it.

★★★Newest Release★★★

We fixed some crucial bugs with the API so that our extension performs as intended. Also the Design got a small update so now that our extension looks even better and is easily understandable. We are also happy to announce that the newest release contains now an adblocker so your experience gets even better.

User reviews

My youtube history stopped working on my PC and after a lot of testing I noticed that disabling Ratings Preview for YouTube resolves the issue. Noticed that it asks permission to ALL sites as well which is not part of the scope of this extension and is really shady. And noticing some reviews, it has been proven to do some weird forward to different sites as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbMHuNpOg2s Will uninstall and report abuse.
