    Return YouTube Dislike is an open-source extension that returns the YouTube dislike count.

    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.
