Description

Return YouTube Dislike restores the ability to see dislikes on YouTube. Starting December 13th 2021, YouTube removed the ability to see dislikes from their API. This extension aims to restore power to users by using a combination of archived like and dislike data, as well as the likes and dislikes made by extension users to show the most accurate ratings. Currently has almost a billion videos data stored before December 13th, 2021 Actively growing and keeping up to date with uploads after December 13th, 2021 The more users that use the extension, the more accurate it will be Unpopular videos uploaded after December 13th, 2021 may have less accurate data shown than more popular videos. This extension is currently in an active development phase, so if you experience any issues, don’t hesitate to report them on our GitHub page or in our Discord server. More features to come soon! https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike https://returnyoutubedislike.com/

It made some pages freeze up and the comments/ui would start glitching out and the video wouldn't start, it would stay stuck and infinitely showing loading circle. I disabled extensions one by one until I finally find it was this one that was mucking everything up. I did two more tests to confirm. Too bad, I liked this extension- I've been using it for a long while now.

Popping up and begging for money. No.

Literally blocks playback on videos when enabled, telling you that you have to subscribe to a patron for "premium" features, otherwise you have to disable it. I did one better: I'd straight up just removed this waste of storage space of an extension and am now giving it a 1-star review, zero stars if I could. Yes, I'm aware that extensions like this cost money to run and maintain, but putting up a "free" extension only to block it behind a paywall only drives people away towards competitors. Unbelievable.

Is started as a good thing, but now the developer is just begging for money, adding HIS OWN ADS on youtube as well. Shame on you.

It's not even accurate and doesn't work videos that have been recently released, such as a video that has been uploaded 7 hours ago.

This extension is spoofing views via your account and is slowing down your YouTube performance

I was one of the first to get this addon, It was great for years, able to see dislikes, helped tons avoiding clickbait. Then they got greedy. The advertisement to go premium pops up every youtube page on every video. It was glorious, If a monthly small popup came saying "Donate please" I would have but this...UNSTALL AND AVOID!!!

Adware. Pop-up an ad for the "premium" version every single time I open the browser...

Was good until it started opening new pages/links - it is now adware and should be avoided.

Doesn't work. Dislike is 0 to videos that I have disliked. Now I have to look for another extension.

Don't install. Years ago it used to be free and works out of the box but now you gotta pay in paytreon in order to see dislikes.

are people actually paying for the statistics? the high price makes it seem like money laundering is going on

You've got to be kidding me. This extension now puts ads for "Premium Dislike Insights" on my YouTube. YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BEAT THE ENSHI*IFICATION, NOT JOIN IT!

Does not work anymore. Also, dev has a terrible treatment toward users as shown by his snide responses to reviews. Guess he is just another passing grifter after all.

That app has been great on a Windows PC and Chrome browser. But: 1. it never made the implicitly promised version for Android Chrome 2. it degraded the feature by replacing the native dislikes with a convoluted and unexplained version of it 3. finally and highly worse, it suddenly started in recent days to overwrite a too big area of the page to "offer" to PAY for a "premium" version adding nothing useful but just another layer of complication and inefficiency. When Artificial Intelligence is just a fashion useful only at disguising NATURAL STUPIDITY and GENUINE INSTINCT OF LYING AND DESTRUCTION, there remains just one thing to do: UNINSTALLING. Versailles, Mon 03 Nov 2025 16:06:40 +0100 EXPLAINING: A - Hiding the dislikes was essentially a LIE. B - Your app was a highly and justly praised repair to this lie. C - Showing now that telling the truth (here the real, accurate, precise, up-to-date, numbers of dislikes) is NOT paramount to you, only makes us realize that by using your app we have been fooled for years. Lying can NEVER be repaired: once liar, perpetual liar. Versailles, Mon 03 Nov 2025 16:18:40 +0100
