What our analysis found

Return YouTube Dislike, used by 5,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

The extension performs exactly the advertised function: fetching dislike counts from its own API at and displaying them on YouTube. All network requests are to the extension's own domain or to GitHub for update checks. OAuth flows are user-initiated and use the optional identity permission. There is no obfuscation, crypto mining, ad injection, or data exfiltration to third parties. The ML model's pattern counts (innerHTML, appendChild) are typical for a content script that manipulates the DOM to insert dislike counts. The bundled manifest includes host_permission for the API domain, which is missing from the published CWS listing, but this is a listing oversight, not a malicious expansion.
