Description

PROBLEM: Clicking the "Like" button on every single video is annoying.

SOLUTION: I would love to have an auto-like feature like in the "YouTube Auto-Like" browser extension by Austin Morgan/Taknok (Chrome Webstore, Chrome Extension GitHub, Firefox Addons, Firefox Extension GitHub). It has almost exactly the features I need (a nice extra feature would be to have the ability to change the percentage after it auto-likes the video).

ALTERNATIVES: 3rd party solution: "YouTube Auto-Like" browser extension by Austin Morgan/Taknok (Chrome Webstore, Chrome Extension GitHub, Firefox Addons, Firefox Extension GitHub).

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: 80%

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Chrome and Firefox YouTube Auto-Like extension implementations to understand the requested behavior and possible percentage setting. Then inspect this repository's browser-extension entry points and existing video controls; done means the auto-like behavior and its configuration are defined, implemented, and verified without disrupting existing features.
