od uživatele Gados, před 2 dnyI 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.

zveřejněno před 2 dnySorry 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:
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.
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 give the extension access to more websites.
RYD is open source, so you can see how it works: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele wxVendigo, před hodinouWas good while it lasted. Smart move really, as less people will be using it, thus lowering monthly costs, but more people will start paying for it. The greed is crazy nowadays.
the popup somehow also evaded my uBo filters 7 times before it stayed gone.
i really should not have updated this shit. - Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Rivolta, před 3 hodinami
- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele 5ucur, před 5 hodinamiWorks alright enough, does what it should and nothing else (so far). Wondering if there's a way to stop it requesting new permissions, for good. I don't want or need to keep having to click Cancel, and keep having the warning symbol on the menu button on every relaunch of the browser. I shouldn't have to repeat the dissent to having my data collected.
- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Parkreiner, před 8 hodinamiThis is a datamining extension with persistent user IDs that track all of your YT browsing activity. I would remove it. It's not worth it at that point.

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele thedemon44, před 14 hodinamiDeveloper can say what he wants, but this is the beginning of the end no matter what. As soon as "personally identifying information, browsing activity, website content, website activity" exists, so does the value of the app for someone who wants that information.
I hardly think it is review bombing when people give a formerly good app a bad rating. Sure you can ignore this new version and not update, but it is unavoidable on a new device.
All good things come to an end, and if it is getting too expensive now, the costs will only rise until he either sells or stops. the reasons don't matter, the intend doesn't matter, asking for our trust... we've all heard that song and dance before.
F - Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele cyberchunk, před 16 hodinamigoing to keep with the old version so firefox doesn't decide to snub your data, i did also hear that there was apparently premium stuff locked into the extension, which while i can understand to some extent, it is incredibly strange how it wasn't announced or even brought up for update info.

- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Devvie, před 19 hodinamiI'm also not comfortable accepting the new permissions, but I like seeing the dev actually respond to people here like a human being and not template or AI responses. Keep it up, and thanks for maintaining this extension.

zveřejněno před 19 hodinamiThanks! There are some template copy-pastas in my responses, but it's because most of the questions are the same. - Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 20160828, před 20 hodinami

zveřejněno před 20 hodinamiyou can keep the old version, or you can check "disable vote submission" in settings. (counting your like\dislike votes is the evil "personal data transfer" that I do.

- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele lastw13, před 21 hodinamiThis addon has a bug that prevents auto-translated CCs from working. It also has ridiculous monetization as of September 2026.
*Edited from 2 to 4 Stars after reading the Developers response. I see monetization in it's current state, that is in the manner that it is presented, as an issue regardless of the circumstances. I would return to using this addon if whenever I install it again I find that CCs have gotten fixed.Odpověď vývojáře
zveřejněno před 21 hodinami"ridiculous monetization" is 1 changelog message on browser restart in 5 years. You can close and never see again. I understand that it is annoying - and I sincerely wish this wasn't needed. But the price of running the extension exceeded the donations that it was receiving - so I decided to add a new optional feature - that some people might find useful - and these people will cover the costs for the rest of us. Hopefully.
Regarding CCs - I received 2 more similar reports, but so far I couldn't reproduce or fix it. Working on it. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 19722038, před 21 hodinamiHow is this still working? I thought recently youtube removed dislikes in their backend.
