Everywhere YouTube rounds, you get the full number.

It keeps working as you click around YouTube, with no reloads and nothing to set up.

Exact counts in these screenshots are illustrative; the extension shows the live estimate.

How it works

YouTube stopped publishing exact counts in September 2019. Channels in NextCounts' Unabbreviated Project share their real count from YouTube Studio; for every other channel the extension shows a live estimate from Mixerno.space.

  1. You open a channel or video

    The extension reads the channel's public ID from the page.

  2. One lookup

    Only that ID is sent: to nextcounts.com if the channel shares its real count, otherwise to mixerno.space for an estimate.

  3. The exact number appears

    It replaces YouTube's rounded figure in place, styled to match.

Questions

Are the counts exact?

For channels in NextCounts' Unabbreviated Project, yes: the creator connected YouTube Studio, so you see their real count. Every other count is a live estimate from Mixerno.space, which usually lands within a small margin of YouTube's internal number. Hover any count to see which one it is.

I'm a creator. How do I show my exact count?

Join NextCounts' Unabbreviated Project and connect your YouTube Studio. Everyone using Return YouTube Subscribers will then see your real count instead of an estimate.

Why did YouTube start rounding?

In September 2019 YouTube began abbreviating every public subscriber count, on the site and in its API, to three significant figures. A channel showing 452M could have anywhere from 452,000,000 to 452,999,999 subscribers.

What data does the extension send?

Only the public ID of the channel you're viewing, sent to NextCounts or Mixerno.space to look up its count. It has no analytics, sends nothing about you, and has no account. Details are in the privacy policy.

A count isn't showing. What should I do?

YouTube changes its layout often. Reload the page first. If it still doesn't work, tell us in the Discord or open a GitHub issue with the page you were on.

Does it work on the YouTube mobile app?

No. Browser extensions can't run inside the YouTube app. It works on youtube.com in desktop browsers.
