        On desktop blocktube has improved things so much too. It has made search results so much better, since YouTube suppresses smaller channels in favor of the same large youtubers depending on the subject. Really wish it could be integrated into mobile YouTube options, but until then my hope is waiting until mobile firefox getting desktop extension support.

        Does anyone know if the dislikes extension is actually accurate or is it a sort of estimation

          For new videos it’s an estimation with added dislike data of people using the extension, it’s rather accurate for most videos. For old videos before the dislike removal it uses old archived data plus new data added on top using the algorithm and data by the extension users

      I’m confused, if ublock origin and sponsor block and all those are bypassing this, then who is it actually targeting?

        They want to frame it so that internet ID is the solution. That way you as a person can be banned, not just the account or ip. Good luck buying and selling when everything becomes digital and you get banned.

        The reason people are talking about this new change is that it will bypass the extensions.

          I understand that, but look at who I am responding to - they seem to think that they’re immune from it.
