Tricks and tech – You can get back the Dislikes counter on YouTube by adding Google Chrome
Many may not care if the Dislikes extension exists or not, but there are some videos that can only be judged by the Dislikes counter. For example, device reviews videos, some of them may be deceptive, or marketing, and you will not know this unless there is a Dislikes counter that tells you that viewers are not satisfied with the content provided by the owner of the video.
YouTube has removed the Dislikes counter for its own benefit, because its own videos get the largest number of them, but as a YouTube user, I need freedom of expression, and to see the expressions of others as well. So you can get back the counter of Dislikes or dislikes on YouTube videos through a Google Chrome extension called Return YouTube Dislikes that you can download.

All photos you take with your phone contain metadata that reveal sensitive information about them
When you take a picture with your smartphone, don’t think that the picture contains only simple information such as the content and the name. In fact, images contain a lot of information called metadata that can be used either against you or to your advantage. This information includes the geographical location the photo was taken, the time the photo was taken, the device used, the camera’s resolution and sensitivities, and more. And you don’t need in-depth programs to extract it, most image-editing programs (egLightromm) once you have inserted images into it will be able to display all this information for you.
Why should you know this information? Recently, Facebook and Snapchat found a way to circumvent the censorship of iOS 14.5 and above (the system brings the feature to stop tracking), but unfortunately Facebook and Snapchat defrauded this feature and withdraw all the information about the photos in order to know information about the user. So, make sure next time before you upload a profile picture on Facebook that you delete its metadata to prevent information about you from being collected.
