posted 35 minutes agoI understand that the data-collection labels were upsetting.
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 is actually recommended by Mozilla, so they do not consider it harmful or dangerous.
The extension only uses the data it needs 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 the permission labels refer to:
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 give the extension access to more websites.

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.Developer response

It collects your personal info, browsing activity, website activity, etc. Mozilla should remove this from "Recommended" add-ons list!!

Informations d’authentificationDeveloper response
posted an hour agoMerci d’avoir partagé votre avis sur ces autorisations.
RYD n’a pas changé la façon dont il traite vos données. Ce qui a changé, c’est la façon dont Mozilla présente ces autorisations - pas ce que l’extension fait de vos données.
L’extension est d’ailleurs recommandée par Mozilla, qui ne la considère donc pas comme nuisible ou dangereuse.
L’extension utilise uniquement les données dont elle a besoin pour afficher les mentions « Je n’aime pas » et compter les votes.
Ses autorisations d’accès aux sites couvrent YouTube et sa propre API sur returnyoutubedislikeapi.com. RYD ne lit pas les autres sites, et ces autorisations ne permettent pas d’y accéder.
Voici ce que signifient ces autorisations :
Données personnelles - l’identifiant utilisateur anonyme de RYD, généré aléatoirement et utilisé pour compter les votes. Il ne s’agit pas de votre compte Google ou YouTube.
Activité de navigation - l’ouverture de la vidéo YouTube suivante, pour que l’extension puisse envoyer son identifiant et récupérer le nouveau nombre de mentions « Je n’aime pas ».
Contenu des sites web - des éléments comme le nombre visible de mentions « J’aime », qui aide à calculer les estimations des mentions « Je n’aime pas ».
Activité des sites web - un clic sur « J’aime » ou « Je n’aime pas ».
Encore une fois, il s’agit de l’activité sur YouTube. L’extension ne surveille pas tout ce que vous faites sur Internet - ces autorisations d’accès aux sites ne le lui permettent tout simplement pas.
Les nouveaux intitulés peuvent faire peur, mais ils ne donnent pas à l’extension accès à davantage de sites.
RYD est open source, vous pouvez donc voir comment il fonctionne : https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike - Rated 5 out of 5by eX-Rayted, 9 hours ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by i can't read, 15 hours agoWhen 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.

i think the best course of action would just be to leave this addon for now and come back when this issue has been resolvedDeveloper response

- Datamine your butthole. And your excuse about "extension is actually recommended by Mozilla" is bullshit - because if was recomended BEFORE this update, so label just got transfered further and means nothing. Its not warranty of addon update being checked by mozilla team before publishing.

posted 16 hours agoRecommended extensions go through a thorough review to publish an update. - Rated 4 out of 5by Shin-Cataro, a day agoI Really hope its just a big misunderstanding, as you already answered all those many dislikes i had to just give this one 4/5 Stars, one star less, because it looks so horrible, i really do not like Datamining and i really want to trust you Mr. Dev... soooo I’ve told Mozilla about it, in the hopes that the wording gets corrected to match what the extension is actually doing.
No one in their right mind would opt into data mining like this, even if it’s just the appearance of it being wrong.
Especially because many extensions these days are going in that direction, data is the oil of the modern technocracy, so to speak.
If the concerns are unfounded, I hope you can clarify that soon Mr. Dev. If not, well… i just hope we still can trust you.Developer response
