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

A combination of archived data from before the official YouTube dislike API shut down, and extrapolated extension user behavior.
