Return YouTube Dislike

Return YouTube Dislike is an open-source extension that returns the YouTube dislike count.
Available for Chrome and Firefox as a Web Extension.
Also available for other browsers as JS Userscript.

The Story

On November 10th, 2021, Google announced that the YouTube dislike count would be removed.

Additionally, the dislike field in the YouTube API was removed on December 13th, 2021, removing any ability to judge the quality of content before watching.

What it Does

With the removal of dislike stats from the YouTube API, our backend switched to using a combination of scraped dislike stats, estimates extrapolated from extension user data and estimates based on view\like ratios.

HELP WANTED

We have an issue which is happening to a low percentage of Chrome users. service worker (ex background script) goes to Inactive state and doesn't wake up even when youtube tab is reopened. Only switching the extension off and on in extensions tab helps. This looks like a Chrome manifestv3 bug - so if anyone knows a good workaround - please open an issue\create a PR.

Looks like its this bug in chromium, and there is no good workaround. If anyone is aware of a workaounds - please contact.
