It seems to be working well so far, I just wish it would actually show the percentage of likes to dislikes without having to hover over the thumbnail! Can you please make this adjustment?

Decent app, but could be a lot better. I'd pay for a proper version of this. One that allows changing colors, changing placement of the ratings preview, showing the percentage of likes vs. dislikes. Still decent as it is, but too simple. Has much more potential.

Super clutch! Thank you.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Ratings Preview for Youtube™ requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
