YouTube Like-Dislike Shortcut

Shift+Plus or Numpad Plus to like, Shift+Minus or Numpad Minus to dislike. Can't get any simpler.

The YouTube Like-Dislike Shortcut Chrome extension provides a simple way to rate videos quickly using keyboard shortcuts. It replicates YouTube Music's rating system with Shift+Plus or Numpad Plus to like, and Shift+Minus or Numpad Minus to dislike videos. The extension ensures that liking or disliking a video happens only once per shortcut press, avoiding accidental toggles, with Shift+0 available to remove ratings.

Beyond manual ratings, users can enable auto-liking based on watch time thresholds or if they are subscribed to the channel, streamlining the video feedback experience. Shortcuts and auto-like parameters are fully customizable to fit individual preferences. Note that the extension does not show dislike counts on videos. It's an open-source tool, improving video interaction efficiency on YouTube.

User reviews

Users praise the YouTube Like-Dislike Shortcut extension for its simplicity, effectiveness, and convenience of keyboard shortcut-based video liking/disliking. It allows customization and supports auto-like features based on video watch percentage or subscriptions. However, multiple users report recent breakage due to browser or YouTube updates, limitations with playlists and shorts, interface bugs, and incomplete functionality of some shortcuts. Overall, it remains a useful tool appreciated for improving the YouTube user experience despite some current issues.
Pros

  • Allows liking and disliking videos using keyboard shortcuts, improving convenience and usability especially during fullscreen viewing or keyboard-based operation.
  • Customizable shortcut keys for liking and disliking.
  • Supports auto-like based on watch percentage or subscription status with configurable options.

Cons
  • Stopped working properly recently with updates to Chrome or YouTube, especially auto-like features for percentage watched and subscribed videos.
  • Does not work on playlists and has issues with liking YouTube Shorts via shortcuts.
  • Interface bugs such as vertical display of channel names when the extension is enabled.
  • Graphical update of the like status sometimes does not reflect after shortcut usage, requiring mouse interaction to update.
  • The 'Un-rate' shortcut does not function as expected; it displays the icon but does not remove the like or dislike.

Útil demais! Mas poderia ter uma opção em que videos do seu próprio canal não fossem curtidos por você mesmo nem com a curtida automática nem por chegar na porcentagem configurada.

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.

YouTube Like-Dislike Shortcut requires very minimum permissions.
