About YouTube Like Animation Control
YouTube Like Animation Control helps make the YouTube watch page calmer by letting you control how the like count changes on screen.
When you watch a video, YouTube’s like count may update with a rolling number animation. For some viewers, that movement is distracting, especially during longer videos, focused viewing, studying, working, or watching in the background. This extension gives you simple display options so the like count feels less intrusive.
Why install it:
Changing like counts can pull attention away from the video
Rolling number animations can feel visually distracting
A calmer like count area makes the watch page easier to focus on
You can choose whether to keep, remove, soften, or freeze the like count movement
What the extension does:
· Normal mode leaves YouTube unchanged
· No Animation keeps the like count updated but removes the rolling effect
· Fade Animation replaces the rolling effect with a subtle fade update
· Freeze Count keeps the displayed like count fixed for the current video
Who it is for:
People who want a cleaner YouTube watching experience
Viewers who are distracted by animated or constantly changing numbers
Users who prefer a stable interface while studying, working, or focusing on video content
Anyone who wants more control over how YouTube’s like count is displayed
What it does not do:
It does not change YouTube’s real like data
It does not interact with your account
It does not like, unlike, or modify videos
It does not change comments or other page content
It only changes how the like count is displayed in your browser
How to use:
Select “No Animation” to keep the count updated without rolling numbers
Select “Fade Animation” for a smoother, softer update effect
Select “Freeze Count” to keep the displayed count fixed
Select “Normal” to restore YouTube’s default behavior
Current support:
