    yeah so why do you need my personally identifying data?

    and where can we verify you aren't just selling it to data brokers.

    Odpověď vývojáře

    zveřejněno před 7 hodinami
    Unrortunatelly a randomly generated id, used to count your likes and dislikes (without any link to your email or YouTube account) is still "personally identifying data".

    and my standard copy-pasta full explainer:

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    New permission requirements make this an automatic hard pass - recommendation should be revoked.

    Edit in response to the developer:

    I think you're missing the point.

    The issue isn't that Mozilla suddenly gave RYD access to the whole internet. It's that Mozilla has now made explicit data collection that was apparently already happening, but wasn't previously disclosed.

    And "anonymous user ID" doesn't really solve that. It's a persistent identifier tied to YouTube activity. That's pseudonymous, not meaningfully anonymous.

    More importantly, the extension being open source only tells us what gets sent. The RYD backend is still a black box. Once that data leaves the browser, we're being asked to trust RYD not to retain, correlate, profile, monetize, or sell it — particularly after we've learned the collection was previously undeclared.

    The fact that the data is useful to RYD doesn't mean it's necessary for the extension's basic advertised function. Showing a dislike count doesn't inherently require building a persistent record of users' YouTube activity.

    And the Chrome and Firefox stores don't even have identical data-collection declarations, so "Mozilla just changed the labels" doesn't really explain everything away.

    That's why I find the response a bit tone deaf. The concern isn't "OMG, RYD can now read every website." It's "why does a simple dislike-count extension need to collect this much information about my YouTube activity, and why was that collection not clearly disclosed before?"


    Edit 2:

    The vote/registration pipeline isn't anonymous — it's pseudonymous and persistent, and your own code and privacy policy confirm it:

    1) Persistent identifier: generateUserId() creates a unique 36-character ID at registration, which createBrowserCredentialStore() persists in browser.storage.sync. It isn't rotated per session or video.

    2) Persistent correlation: performVote() sends { userId, videoId, value } to /interact/vote and /interact/confirmVote. Reusing the same identifier lets your backend associate votes and video activity with the same user over time. That's pseudonymization, not anonymization.

    3) Additional identifiers: Your privacy policy says IP address and request time are also collected. Those can further associate the persistent identifier with a real-world network connection.

    4) Your own policy treats the identifier as personal data. So describing it to users simply as an "anonymous" ID is misleading. Randomly generated does not mean anonymous when the value is persistent and specifically used to correlate records.

    The appropriate description is pseudonymous, persistent user identification, not anonymous collection.

    "why simple dislike-count extension need to collect this much information about my YouTube activity" - it's explained under every review here. Try reading the response, please. I literally list every point, and why it is there. They are trivial, like detecting what video is playing (to show dislikes for that video) and detecting that like or dislike button was clicked.

    Das ist nicht mehr die ursprüngliche Erweiterung. Sie entwickelt sich in eine Richtung, die mir nicht gefällt. Habe kein gutes Gefühl. Wird deinstalliert!

    Odpověď vývojáře

    zveřejněno před 12 hodinami
    Danke für dein Feedback. Es tut mir leid, dass du wegen der Erweiterung ein ungutes Gefühl hast.

    Die Erweiterung wird tatsächlich von Mozilla empfohlen, sie halten sie also nicht für schädlich oder gefährlich.

    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.

    Ajay, der Entwickler von SponsorBlock und DeArrow, hat dieses Problem ebenfalls bei Mozilla angesprochen. Er erklärt, wie die neue Formulierung den Eindruck erwecken kann, eine bestehende Erweiterung hätte plötzlich angefangen, neue Daten zu sammeln, ohne klarzustellen, auf welche Websites sie zugreifen kann. Seinen Beitrag im Mozilla-Forum kannst du hier lesen: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/the-new-data-transmission-permissions-seem-to-be-misleading-to-users/149410

    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.

    RYD ist Open Source, du kannst dir also ansehen, wie es funktioniert: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike

    Sorry 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.

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

    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.

    You don't have to log in. Log in is just for advanced features - which you don't have to use.

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

    Sorry 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    RYD is open source, so you can see how it works: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike

    Horrible update added spyware, locking things behind "premium", and is clearly LLM-gen-AI slop.
