投稿日時: 18日前Thanks for the kind words - glad it’s working well for you!
RYD hasn’t changed how it handles your data. Mozilla changed the way it labels these permissions - what the extension does with your data is the same.
The extension uses only the data needed to show 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 can sound scary, but they don’t allow the extension to access more websites.
RYD is open source, so you can see how it works: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike- 5 段階中 1 の評価Firefox ユーザー 13997528 によるレビュー (18日前)Asking for Personally Identifying Information when previously didn't. Dev denied anything changed but then I see these video analytics and world heatmap features which yeah would probably require knowing my location. So nopin out of this

投稿日時: 18日前..would probably require knowing my location” - it doesn’t. The extension does not request location permission.
The analytics are aggregated. For example, it may record that “6 users from the US disliked this video,” but it does not know that one of those users is you or who you are.
For voting, the extension sends the video ID, a randomly generated user ID used to count votes, and the vote itself (+1 or -1). It does not ask for your name, email, address, or other identifying information.
And if you’re still uncomfortable with vote submission, the option to disable it has existed since the early days of the extension. When vote submission is disabled - you don't send anything at all (but your dislikes don't count - so it's up to you) - 5 段階中 4 の評価Firefox ユーザー 19105228 によるレビュー (18日前)Why is this extension no longer available on private browsing on Firefox?

投稿日時: 18日前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". - 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 15848041 によるレビュー (18日前)

- 5 段階中 5 の評価Firefox ユーザー 12203044 によるレビュー (18日前)I'm writing this for other reviewers in case they read it. 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.開発者の返信

So it's technically correct, but most of people imagine something different when they read it. 開発者の返信

The extension is actually recommended by Mozilla, so they do not consider it harmful or dangerous.

RYD is open source, so you can see how it works: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike- I still don't trust the extension because the basic SponsorBlock already does the job, and this one stores way more information. In any case, I think you shouldn't have started by popping up that huge window saying we need premium users to pay for the server, I’m not arguing that it’s not important, but maybe you should have, I don’t know tried to reassure users instead of just popping up a small window to explain why the privacy update is necessary, and only then shoving the premium option in our faces? Think about how you present information, and then maybe there wouldn’t have been such a negative reaction.

投稿日時: 18日前Sorry the message about new features bothered you.
The extension is actually recommended by Mozilla, so they do not consider it harmful or dangerous.
It’s shown only once during the lifetime of the extension, and it’s timed to appear after a browser restart - hopefully the least disruptive moment.
Handling YouTube-scale traffic and storing dozens of terabytes of like/dislike data on a school-lunch budget ain’t that easy. The funding from these features is what keeps RYD’s servers running.
And as for the permissions:
