## Review summary

User feedback is mixed. Some praise the extension for showing dislike counts and enabling a thumbs-down, but repeated reliability and compatibility problems dampen the experience. Several users report it stops working, and others can’t install or use it on Android. UI clutter (Disabled by Owner) and paywall-like prompts add to frustration. Overall, performance appears inconsistent and data accuracy is sometimes questionable, with outcomes varying by platform and usage.

### Pros

- When it works, it functions as advertised by showing dislike counts.
- It provides a direct thumbs-down option via the extension.
- Useful for gauging a video's popularity by the number of dislikes.

### Cons

- Reliability issues: it stops working or doesn't load in some cases.
- Installation/compatibility problems: not working on Firefox for Android or installation fails.
