Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the “Return Youtube Dislike” extension wasn’t working, as in, I wasn’t seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?

    Huh…weird. I can still see the dislike button itself, but there is no longer a number next to it. (Firefox desktop browser here, up to date)

      That means it’s no longer working. YouTube never removed the dislike button, just the dislike counter.

        That’s wrong. Youtube dislike has its own database, and infers the bumber of dislikes based on the number of dislike it got and its userbase.

        The plug-in stopped working because youtube changed its layout. It’s coming back.
