YouTube Auto Like

Never forget to like a video again.

Feb 2021: Sadly, Chrome removed this extension for violating YouTube's terms of service (specifically the part about causing inaccurate measurements of user engagement). You can still load the extension locally by following these steps. Only do this for extensions you trust.

  1. Download the latest release: https://github.com/austencm/youtube-auto-like/releases/latest/download/release.zip
  2. Unzip release.zip and put it somewhere it won't get deleted accidentally
  3. Open your extensions page in Chrome (in the top right, click the puzzle piece icon, then "Manage Extensions" (at the bottom of the popup)
  4. Turn on Developer Mode (in the top right)
  5. Click 'Load unpacked' and select the unzipped release folder
  6. Set your options again (sorry, the browser thinks it's a new extension and options get reset. I don't have a good way around this.)

Extensions loaded this way are unable to update automatically. Keep an eye out for a badge on the icon that indicates a new version is available.
