Hi, Mozilla's policy is "no data collected in private windows." And counting your vote counts as "data collection."

So I need to implement a feature in the extension to detect that it is in a private window -and it should stop sending votes. It is not difficult - but I was short on time and wanted to get FF fixes to people faster. So it was easier to just disable it in private windows altogether - not to get punished for non-compliance.

I will work on this soon.

I only hope that the extension is allowed to make a request with a video ID (to get dislike counts). Because technically, this could be deemed data collection too - not sure yet.

And yeah - the policies are new - people are still learning how they work, and Mozilla is still figuring it out themselves.

Maybe some wording will be improved.

There should be a difference between this extension sending a randomly generated userId to count votes - and some other extension that steals your name, address, email, and phone number. But right now they both are "collecting personal data".
