This project is a browser extension and metadata tool designed to restore the visibility of dislike counts on YouTube videos. It functions as a client-side video enhancer that modifies the web interface to display engagement statistics that are otherwise hidden.
The tool restores these metrics by combining archived data and user votes with statistical extrapolations. This data is retrieved via a public API using unique video identifiers to help users evaluate video content and identify low-quality or misleading videos.
The extension utilizes content scripts and client-side patching to inject custom elements and data visualizations directly into the page structure. These updates are handled through an asynchronous fetch cycle to maintain page responsiveness.
