6 dagen lyn pleatstThanks for taking the time to look into the permissions and share what you found.
RYD hasn’t changed how it handles your data. What changed is how Mozilla labels these permissions - not what the extension does with your data.
The extension only uses the data it needs to display dislikes and count votes.
Its site permissions cover YouTube and its own API at returnyoutubedislikeapi.com. RYD doesn’t read other websites, and these site permissions cannot be used to access them.
Here’s what those permissions mean:
Personally identifiable information - RYD’s randomly generated, anonymous user ID, used to count votes. This isn’t your Google or YouTube account.
Browsing activity - opening the next YouTube video, so the extension can send its video ID and fetch the new dislike count.
Website content - things like the visible like count, which helps calculate dislike estimates.
Website activity - clicking Like or Dislike.
Again, this is about YouTube activity. The extension isn’t watching everything you do across the internet - it simply can’t do that with these site permissions.
The new labels sound scary, but they don’t let the extension access any additional websites.
RYD is open source, so you can see how it works: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch nonotapierson, 6 dagen lyn

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Kaine, 6 dagen lynThe new permission request surprised me at first, but after reading the developer's explanation, it makes total sense. It sounds scarier than it actually is, and that's on Mozilla, not the developer. There's no need to be paranoid (it's open source, so you can check the code yourselves!)
Thanks for being transparent about the permissions and keeping the extension updated.Antwurd ûntwikkeler

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch i can't read, 7 dagen lynWhen I first saw the extension requiring "new" permissions like PII, the first thing I did was check the reviews if anyone had any information on why these new perms were required and if it'd be better to uninstall.
I was not expecting that person to be the developer of the extension, with a full in-depth explanation of why each new perm was needed, if the extension was trusted, and information on why the permissions were rebranded.
This is the first time I've EVER seen a developer take the time to read negative reviews, explain, and attempt to help with any issues. I've been using this extension for a while, and I could tell this project was difficult to maintain just based on how it was made.
You are perhaps the greatest developer I've seen purely for actually listening to what people had to say and addressing the constant 1 star reviews with actual notes. I created an account purely to say that this extension has been great for quite a while now, and keeping servers alive with little monetization, pushing out updates, taking time to read feedback, addressing questions, it's all extremely impressive and genuinely makes me want to support the project. Cheers mate.Antwurd ûntwikkeler

Firefox did change their policies, they implemented more clarifying information options regarding permissions and data, which they require the developers to use, but these options are too broad and they kind of backfire, and despite what the developer of this addon claims, it's a failure on Firefox's side.
And no, this addon DOES NOT simply revert Youtube's change of removing the dislike counter. Nobody knows the exact number as it is inaccessible, hence the app requires data to calculate a close estimate based on user activity. Literally nobody can "just return Youtube dislikes".
Edit: "RYD hasn’t changed how it handles your data. What changed is Mozilla’s wording for these permissions - not what the extension does with your data." That's what I was trying to say too. Mozilla is asking for more / different clarification, but they are only confusing things in some situations, like here.Antwurd ûntwikkeler

Antwurd ûntwikkeler
9 dagen lyn pleatst"Personal information" - is the random user ID generated by extension to count your votes.
And if you don't like it - you can disable it in the settings.
So it's technically correct, but most of people imagine something different when they read it.
