- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Skuldugery, för 4 timmar sedanI rarely write any reviews. But after getting misled by Firefox into thinking the extension got bought out or something similar, and then learning that Firefox is at fault here with a change on their side...
And the shitstorm that has started.
Thanks for the awesome extensionUtvecklarens svar
postad för 3 timmar sedanIt is a bit unfair to call it "mislead", after all what they state is factual. It is just not very clear, and looks scarier than what is actually happening.
They just should be aware that an average user will spend 5-10 seconds maximum looking at that notice - and after that the user will delete the extension and leave a 1 star review. Which is somewhat unfair.
Thanks for taking your time to dig into the issue. Utvecklarens svar

RYD hasn’t changed how it handles your data. What changed is the way Mozilla labels these permissions - not what the extension does with your data.
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 may sound scary, but they don’t let the extension access more websites.

After seeing reviews, not sure why they change why they word it like that, but I trust you.
Really like this addon, not just like but also important to see those datas which we're suppose to see from the start.
Thank for your effort!Utvecklarens svar

Mozilla updated how they word data the warning for data collection, which is bad and misleading
Anything under the "Personal Data Category", for this extension using website content and activity (youtube), is going to be labeled and disclosed as Personal Data collection, even if its not collecting or storing any data. Which no way to specify what kind of data is being handled.
For those who are down voting and don't understand code, this is a reasonable use to use to something like Claude Code to scan through the GitHub repository to see what or if data is actually collected and used. And what has changed from previous versions.
Nothing has changed permissions wise, besides Oauth being added for Patron (which is optional).Utvecklarens svar

This extension still works wonders, even now. The pop-up is purely optional and you can close it, as it'll never pop back up again.
Why Firefox/Mozilla decided to word it as such, I have no idea.Utvecklarens svar

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av The Black Hole, för 12 timmar sedanThe new warning about data collection is misleading, nothing changed about how the extension handles data (and it's open-source, see it for yourself). Sponsorblock and similar addons are in the same situation.
It's a Mozilla issue: unlike GDPR cookie banners where you can explain how and why data is collected, there's no way to do that with the new data collection permission warning.
See "The new data transmission permissions seem to be misleading to users" on Mozilla Discourse.
Besides the shitstorm, I think this is a great (and essential) extension to easily identify misleading videos.Utvecklarens svar

EDIT: I asked Mozilla about this situation, and they confirmed that the developer isn't lying. So, I am changing my review to 5 stars and would like to apologize to the developer for my accusations.

postad för en dag sedanOther extenions haven't requested it because they haven't gone throught the "data disclosure" process yet (check Sponsorblock's and De-Arrow author's response in my discord server). This extension is just among the first few unlucky ones. Mozilla are actually considering changing this labeling system to make it more clear to users about what is going on.
Ajay, the author of SponsorBlock and DeArrow, has also raised this issue with Mozilla. He explains how the new wording can make an existing extension look like it suddenly started collecting new data, without making clear which websites it can access. You can read his post on Mozilla’s forum here: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/the-new-data-transmission-permissions-seem-to-be-misleading-to-users/149410

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av janjamjabjag, för en dag sedanLogged into here for the first time so I could leave a supportive review regarding what happened with the latest update.
I was scared and skeptical at first, when I noticed what it was asking for seemed like invasive permissions. After taking literally seconds to research why/what had changed, I found out what was going on — nothing more than Mozilla just changing the wording of their policies.
This add-on is still safe to use and does not collect any sensitive/personal information about you or your browsing.
P.S. If you think this review was written with AI because of the em-dash, there's no hope for you :-)Utvecklarens svar
