YouTube Like-Dislike Shortcut Extension

Basically, copies the like/dislike shortcut from YouTube Music, which means:
• Shift+Plus (on the number row) to like a video
• Shift+Minus (on the number row) to dislike
• Numpad Plus to like
• Numpad Minus to dislike

Additionally:
• Pressing the like/dislike shortcut will only rate the video once, i.e., pressing again won't un-rate it
• To un-rate, use Shift+0 (on the number row)
• Auto-like videos based on a watch time threshold OR based on whether you're subscribed to the current channel
• You can customize the shortcuts and the auto-like threshold

** The extension does not reveal the videos' dislike counters **

Desmond Ng (ID: 000000db66167917) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/03/2023 Its been years that no one left a newer and recent review now. I found a bug that when I'm playing shorts and press the + at my number pad, that I configured it there, the like does not update graphically. The video also is not liked. I have to move my mouse and press the like button. This makes liking and disliking easier and convenient, removing the need to click with a mouse. However the bug still remains and I hope its fixed.
