How to Turn On Dislikes on YouTube

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to restore the dislike count on any YouTube video.

Quick summary

The Return YouTube Dislike Chrome extension restores the dislike count on YouTube videos that was removed in November 2021. Installing it takes under a minute and brings back full like-to-dislike ratio visibility for every video you watch.


Steps

  1. Go to chromewebstore.google.com and search for Return YouTube Dislike.
  2. Click Add to Chrome to install the extension.
  3. When prompted, click Add extension in the confirmation pop-up.
  4. Once installed, go to youtube.com and open any video.
  5. The dislike count will now appear next to the Dislike button below the video player, just as it did before YouTube removed the feature.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube removed public dislike counts in 2021, leaving viewers unable to quickly assess video quality or avoid misleading content. The Return YouTube Dislike Chrome extension restores this critical signal directly in the YouTube interface, giving users instant access to like-to-dislike ratios on every video. This matters for anyone who relies on community feedback to evaluate tutorials, news, or product reviews before investing their time. Restoring the dislike count improves content discovery and helps viewers make faster, better-informed decisions.
