Shift+Plus or Numpad Plus to like, Shift+Minus or Numpad Minus to dislike. Can't get any simpler.
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 **

- (2023-10-16) Mayle Spric Lem: OMG, thank you for that. An obvious thing for us to already have within youtube, fixed by an user's mod. Thanks alot. \o/
- (2023-10-13) Samuele gg: Non funziona più. It doesn't work anymore.
- (2023-10-07) Gürkan Işık: This extension saved my life. It was being very though like the video with mouse every time. God bless your hands, man!
- (2023-06-03) Desmond Ng: 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.
- (2023-04-03) Abin Liu: 十分感谢,这正是我需要的 Thx, this is exactly what I needed.
- (2023-02-07) Alessandro Chieffi: La utilizzo da più di un anno e funziona perfettamente! Complimenti agli sviluppatori
- (2023-01-12) Andrew Zibrovski: Awesome. So much easier to put Likes using a button on the Numpad instead of dragging a mouse.
- (2023-01-07) Merculian: спасибо, удобно ставится лайк, когда просмотрел определенный процент от увиденного. еще нужно убрать возможность видеть этот процент
- (2022-12-01) Rich Johnson: Changed my configs to shift+L for like and shift+D for dislike. No need for the stinky pinky on my 60%. Only thing that doesn't work, unless I don't understand it, at the time of this review is the "Un-rate" shortcut. It shoes a thumbs up or down in the middle of the screen, but it doesn't unlike undislike which is what I would expect it to do.
- (2022-11-01) Hoschen: This works with the new Youtube design (October 2022). Please check, if you can make more buttons work. I had been using a different program for this and my like button was always ENTER. Would be nice.
- (2022-10-06) Bryan Chow: Worked well until the latest YouTube UI update broke it. Hope it will be fixed soon.
- (2022-10-05) Shawn Barter: I loved it but it stopped working with the latest youtube layout update.
- (2022-09-27) Roberto Vera: It is a great extension. My only question is if still unrate a video that is alread liked when the Auto-like is activated?
- (2022-09-24) dilfbaG: Normally I don't write reviews for stuff unless it works very well. I used something similar in the past that stopped working. This one is even better because you can choose the combination of buttons that likes or dislikes the video. Great extension, straight to the point.
- (2022-09-15) Joel Herbert: No longer works with the new UI. Will update this review when fixed
- (2022-09-13) Naveen P Nair: From today I'm not able to use this, after the new UI came for YouTube.
- (2022-07-14) Grace Holbert: An idea I really, really would have loved to use but it doesn't seem to be working. Very disappointed.
- (2022-05-01) Eric Jensen: I really love the idea of having a keybind to like and dislike videos but I was hoping to be able to use it like the next and previous track buttons, on a tab in the background so I didn't need to focus my window of youtube music in order to rate songs. would bump it up to 6 stars if it was added, but what can you do lol. I couldn't find out how to change the buttons used to like and dislike videos either, which is half way sad but it really isn't a big deal either
- (2022-04-30) Jim Calekdor: would love for the macros to be global, then it would be perfect. thanks for the hard work either way.
- (2022-04-17) James Stokes: Wow, this extension is awesome! An instant 5 star review!! The only issue I had was the keyboard shortcut not working at first on a video I had loaded before installing. I fixed the issue by refreshing the YT tab and then all the shortcuts worked perfectly. Thanks for the awesome extension, now I can rate videos without needing to use the mouse to do so!
- (2022-04-12) Joshua Chrïst: Eleven out of ten, would shift+plus again. I'd like to +1 Agus Prayogo's suggestion as well, the ability to customize the shortcut would be perfect as I use a lot of custom keyboard commands with Vivaldi. Again, thank you very much for this extension. I have been trying to find a way to add a like button to the video player for... I can't even tell you but definitely a very very long time hahaha cheers!
- (2022-03-20) Fred Ngoulou (jimi_s_goose): Does as it says on the tin.
- (2022-03-18) Agus Prayogo: works just great for the shift + plus and minus. but, my opera browser uses shift + minus for zoom. sadly my keyboard doesn't have numpad. so, i kinda expecting that i can change the shortcut by my own. not a big thing, but a nice thing to have
- (2022-03-16) Mom Mam: just works great
- (2022-02-21) Yashwant Chauhan: pls creta a shortcut to scricibe
- (2022-02-13) JustCallMeSimon: Idk if you still read these but i would like ui feedback. i know its gonna like the video but there are like 2% of me that always have to scroll down and have to check
- (2021-12-24) Jamie Ng: 2021 1224. trying it out
- (2021-12-02) G_ C4: Dude thats so underated, it works absolute fine, well done 👏
- (2021-12-01) Shintaro: Hiding the dislike button is one of the most childish things I have ever seen. Its also a way to falsely represent the opinion of the public on certain topics. Youtube is quickly becoming a blatant puppet just like other social platforms.
- (2021-11-25) WhiteTubby: 10/10 it worked
- (2021-11-23) Ssule: Не работает
- (2021-11-16) Vocals Videos: In my laptop huawei with idk if windows 10 or 11, it doesn´t works, why? :(
- (2021-10-17) Oliver Mountjoy: works great! and it can only access youtube so it cant steal much data if it is malicious
- (2021-09-30) Noritake Satoh: A little weird that can un-rate dislike, but not with like. And sadly this is not working with other extension that open youtube in full tab
- (2021-09-29) Maxwell Sage.Collins: simple and straight and easy
- (2021-08-07) Steve Holbourne: Works well. It's good that triggering the shortcut twice doesn't remove the like/dislike So there's no need to check if you've already liked/disliked a video. Good job Avi!
- (2021-07-19) Mark Degroot: It works, great extension for liking videos in full screen when autoplaying a playlist.
- (2021-07-11) Mohammad Mezbah Uddin Siqdar: It works <3
- (2021-07-11) Igni Aard: It works! If it doesn't refresh the page with a video after installing this add-on. Very useful when I'm lying on my bed with only my wireless keyboard.
- (2021-04-21) s0f0s: i want more shortcuts for adding video to different playlists, not only "watch later" =3
- (2020-07-29) 유우: In YouTube Music, Numpad Minus doesn't work.
