What does this do?
This PR adds a toggle in
Options > Visual Tweaks > Like buttonsto reverse the order of the Like and Dislike buttons such that the Like button appears first.Do note that changes to this only show after a reload.
As I'm sure many people will have gotten used to the current button order, this toggle is disabled by default.

Why?
A bit over a year ago now, I began using this app. I had already been using YouTube Music on my phone as well. Everything was great, except my usage of the mobile app (and standard YouTube in the browser) had taught me the muscle memory of "hit the first button to like a song".
Makes sense, but for whatever reason, YouTube Music on the web swaps the order of these buttons such that the first button actually dislikes. There were many times where I would have something autoplay while I'm working on something, I'd tab into the app, and hit what my muscle memory told me should be the like button, only for the song to abruptly stop playing, because I'd actually clicked dislike instead.
I wrote up a simple CSS plugin to remedy this ages ago, but I'm setting this up on a different machine now and I feel like this would belong better in the app itself, as it fixes an inconsistency between mobile and desktop, YouTube and YouTube Music. It doesn't make much sense to me that Google chose to reverse the order of these buttons on only YouTube Music, and only on the web version.
