  YouTube Like Count Freeze is a simple extension for people who want a cleaner, less distracting 
  YouTube watching experience.
  
  Its purpose is straightforward: 
  while you watch a video, it can keep the displayed like count fixed instead of letting changing numbers constantly pull your attention away from the content.
  
  Why install it:
  Changing like counts can be visually distracting during playback
  Repeated number updates can draw attention away from the video itself
  A fixed like count makes the watch page feel calmer and easier to focus on
  
  What the extension does:
  Normal mode leaves YouTube unchanged
  Freeze Count keeps the displayed like count fixed for the current video
  
  Who it is for:
  People who want a less distracting YouTube interface
  Viewers who prefer a more stable watch page while focusing on the video
  Users who are sensitive to constantly changing on-screen numbers
  
  What it does not do:
  It does not change YouTube’s real like data
  It does not interact with your account
  It does not modify the video or comments
  It only changes how the like count is shown in your browser
  
  How to use:
  Just select 'Freeze Count' mode
  To restore, select 'Normal' mode
  
  Current support:
  Standard youtube.com/watch pages

  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:
  Standard youtube.com/watch video pages
