This used to be my favourite extension, but a recent UI change made it less convenient.

The dislike count is now displayed instead of the dislike icon, which means you can no longer tell at a glance whether you've already disliked a video. The like button still changes appearance when selected, but the dislike button no longer does because the icon is replaced by the number.

For comparison:
- YouTube Dislike Counter keeps both icons, but places the dislike count far to the right of the rating buttons, which looks rather awkward.
- Dislikes in YouTube™ has the best placement of the dislike count (right next to the dislike icon), but shifts the entire action bar too far to the left, causing spacing issues.

Each extension gets something right, but unfortunately none of them is currently perfect. If this one restored the original dislike icon while keeping the counter, it would easily be the best option again.

Update: I accidentally discovered that using this extension together with Dislikes in YouTube™ often results in the best overall layout: both thumb icons remain visible, the dislike counter stays next to the dislike button, and the action bar is no longer shifted to the left. Unfortunately, this combination is inconsistent and sometimes breaks after refreshing the page (the dislike icon may disappear again and the counter may display a leading zero), so it's more of a lucky workaround than a reliable solution.

    Thanks for explaining the 'new permissions'. It's a shame about how they're labelling this, because it rather dilutes the meaning of such a warning.

    Thanks for taking the time to read the explanation and leave a review.

    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 uses only 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 can sound scary, but they don’t give the extension access to more websites.

    The developer claims that Mozilla changed the labeling system, but I have a lot of extensions installed, and none of them asked for additional permissions to collect my data. Why do I smell bs?

    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.
    I also asked them to post some kind of clarifying message on the add-on's page.

    Other 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Let me explain 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

    Thanks for the feedback.

    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.

    The add-on no longer works in private windows, so it is completely useless to me.

    Yeah, 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.
