Summary

I created the extension to solve the problem with YouTube like/dislike rating system (especially since the dislike number was removed from YouTube). My solution is a convenient star rating system in the form of a browser extension that allows you to rate YouTube videos from 1 to 5 stars and see their ratings.

The difference between the rating systems is subtle, yet significant. Star rating - we associate it with quality. If you see a video rated with 5 stars, you will think it is excellent quality. Like/dislike rating - we associate it with preference. If you see a video that received some "likes", you will think some people prefer it, without necessarily associating it with quality.

More information about the extension is available on my website https://youtubestarrating.ozbot.si

But this is just the beginning.

As we grow as a community I'll continue to upgrade the extension and bring you more features and a better user experience.

Is it feasible to add support for alternative frontends such as Invidious? Where can the source repository found?

Great addon for rating YouTube videos in more detail about their quality. More users would be nice ig, but that's hard to influence as a developer. Maybe the stars should be to the left next to the video title instead of below it tho. On videos which's title isn't weirdly long there's a lot of free space to the right of the title and star rating which could instead be used to show the start of the video description at the bottom of the page. Also make this available for Firefox for Android please.
