The Return Of The Facebook Dislike Button -- Or Not?

GetDislike promises a Facebook thumbs-down option for Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.

A dislike plugin from a third-party, aptly called GetDislike, promises to work with more browsers than a predecessor. But the extension doesn’t have any staying power.

The free download GetDislike works with Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari, but limits dislikes to news feed stories.

A further, more significant limitation: Facebook appears to wipe away the dislike button as soon as you attempt to use it.

I never got a chance to find out whether my friends needed to download the same plugin in order to be able to see my dislikes show up in their news feeds.
