What is Disqus Downvote Exposer?

Disqus Downvote Exposer is a Chrome extension created to expose the number of downvotes on Disqus comments. Despite Disqus hiding the downvote counters, this extension employs a classname property to exhibit this information. Its reliability may vary over time due to potential updates or changes on Disqus' end.

UPDATE:

More than five years later, Disqus has decided to bring back exposure of downvotes. (https://blog.disqus.com/bringing-back-downvotes) This extension is now obsolete. But... who knows how things will change again, eh?

ORIGINAL:

Less than a month ago, Disqus has decided to hide the downvote counters of its comments. Less than a day ago, I have learned that the number of downvotes is still kept in a classname property. This extension simply displays that information.

However, unlike upvotes, the classname does not seem to be updated automatically. It is possible that this extension may not work in time, without any alternatives. Hopefully, this will become obsolete.

After all these years, this extension still works and developers actually update it, a habit that many others fail to do on their extensions across the Chrome store. 2021 and still going strong!
