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 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.
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.

Developer response
posted 2 hours agoDanke für dein Feedback. Es tut mir leid, dass du wegen der Erweiterung ein ungutes Gefühl hast.
RYD hat den Umgang mit deinen Daten nicht geändert. Geändert hat sich, wie Mozilla diese Berechtigungen bezeichnet - nicht, was die Erweiterung mit deinen Daten macht.
Die Erweiterung nutzt nur die Daten, die sie braucht, um Dislikes anzuzeigen und Stimmen zu zählen.
Ihre Website-Berechtigungen gelten für YouTube und ihre eigene API unter returnyoutubedislikeapi.com. RYD liest keine anderen Websites aus, und diese Website-Berechtigungen können nicht genutzt werden, um auf sie zuzugreifen.
Personenbezogene Daten - die von RYD zufällig generierte, anonyme Benutzer-ID, mit der Stimmen gezählt werden. Das ist nicht dein Google- oder YouTube-Konto.
Surfaktivität - das Öffnen des nächsten YouTube-Videos, damit die Erweiterung dessen Video-ID senden und die neue Dislike-Anzahl abrufen kann.
Website-Inhalte - zum Beispiel die sichtbare Like-Anzahl, die bei der Berechnung der geschätzten Dislike-Zahlen hilft.
Website-Aktivität - das Klicken auf Like oder Dislike.
Noch einmal: Hier geht es um Aktivitäten auf YouTube. Die Erweiterung verfolgt nicht alles, was du im Internet machst - mit diesen Website-Berechtigungen kann sie das schlicht nicht.
Die neuen Bezeichnungen klingen beunruhigend, geben der Erweiterung aber keinen Zugriff auf weitere Websites.

It's still sad that we even need an extension like this, but it's not doing what the 1-star reviews will have you think it does.Developer response

Developer response
posted 5 hours agoYeah, it will be addressed later. Mozilla forbids data collection in private windows - which means you can't submit likes\dislikes in a private window. It isn't a problem, but requires additional coding, which I didn't have time for. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18924088, 5 hours agoRemoved this extension when out of nowhere it tried forcing me to agree to invasive data collection.

Developer response
posted 5 hours agoSorry the message about new features bothered you. 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.

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.
