- Rated 5 out of 5by Robert Redmon, 4 years agoI have used this add-on for a long time. Despite having to follow additional steps, which are very easy, the add-on is a must for watching YouTube videos. I also give 5 stars for the communication of the developer knowing what has to happen for this to continue to work.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Saxayone, 4 years agoWorks fine with the new api fix things but it is still annoying that it places itself at the bottom of the thumbnail and moves the playback red bar to the top instead of just placing itself at the top.
Wish there was a setting to reverse them... - Rated 5 out of 5by Plosky, 4 years ago

It's surprisingly important and in many cases better metric to measure video success. You could display it in the same info box with the the like ratio when you hover mouse over the like-dislike bar.

https://github.com/elliotwaite/thumbnail-rating-bar-for-youtube - Rated 5 out of 5by sixtie, 4 years agoOccasionally and unpredictably stops displaying the ratings bars (maybe a YouTube API quota issue per the 0.0.42 release notes?) but this add-on is otherwise very well designed and has no doubt saved me hundreds, if not thousands, of wasted clicks and page loads over the past year or two.

However, sometimes, for no apparent reason, it just stops working for a few hours. Unfortunate, but not necessarily within the developer's control.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15078022, 5 years agoI used Ratings Preview for YouTube™ for the longest time; and after a year since its last update, today the extension no longer works—RIP.
Found you, it works —keep up the great work and thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15076599, 5 years ago
