Summary

Basically, copies the like/dislike shortcut from YouTube Music, which means:
• Shift+Plus (on the number row) to like a video • Shift+Minus (on the number row) to dislike • Numpad Plus to like • Numpad Minus to dislike

Additionally: • Pressing the like/dislike shortcut will only rate the video once, i.e., pressing again won't un-rate it • To un-rate, use Shift+0 (on the number row) • Auto-like videos based on a watch time threshold OR based on whether you're subscribed to the current channel • You can customize the shortcuts and the auto-like threshold

** The extension does not reveal the videos' dislike counters **

Simple but works well. Something basic I definitely needed: annoying when you are in fullscreen to have to exit fullscreen to give a like and then go back to fullscreen again.

A little weird that can un-rate dislike, but not with like. And sadly this is not working with other extension that open youtube in full tab
