Features & Capabilities

Open YouTube Dislikes is an open-source extension that restores YouTube dislike functionality and puts you back in charge. It returns dislike counts as well as the ability to actually dislike videos that you do not like.

Why? YouTube recently decided to remove dislike counts from all videos, effectively leaving users without any clue as to whether or not a video contains good information, bad information, or straight up misinformation. At worst this results in propaganda, fake news, or misinformation being spread and at best it results in a lot of time wasted.

How? By crowdsourcing like/dislike data, bringing archived data to life, and estimating dislikes for unknown videos via machine learning. The more data we gather, the better estimates the machine learning model will yield.

Where? The entire project (the extension itself and accompanying backend) is open-source and can be found here: https://github.com/dkgv/open-youtube-dislikes

Is Open YouTube Dislikes Safe?

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.

Open YouTube Dislikes requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Open YouTube Dislikes may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
