Dislike 0.2 Adds A Disapproving Dislike Button To Facebook

By Sarah Rae Trover on November 6, 2009 at 9:30 AM

Firefox only: Since the dawn of the Like button on Facebook, people have rallied for its counterpart, the Dislike button. Although Facebook hasn’t stepped up to the plate with their own Dislike button, French developer Thomas Moquet has made it possible for Firefox users.

If your Facebook feed is anything like ours, a Dislike button could be more than useful to let the overly lewd, crude or socially unacceptable friend know just how you feel about their updates. (Then again, you could just hide that user.) Only other Firefox users who have the add-on installed will be able to see your disapproval, so it’s not as though it’s tapping into some secret Facebook feature or anything like that.

Dislike 0.2 is a free, experimental extension, and works wherever Firefox does.

    Still not perfected yet, tried it with some friends and we all noticed firefox runs a lot slower with this addon, but a few more versions I can see this being really good.

    Also want “Agree with” or “Commiserate with” (but don’t like) buttons – for the times when someone posts “I am annoyed with….”, or “My kids’ rabbit just died”, or some other ‘non-happy’ thing
