Critiques pour Return YouTube Dislike
Return YouTube Dislike par Dmitry Selivanov
5 004 notes
- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 20153128 de Firefox, il y a 13 heuresWorks as intended. As for the "This requires new permissions". After taking a look all its doing is hashing your user name (so you cant dislike bomb as a single user) and grabs what page your viewing (so it knows how many dislikes there are). Otherwise this app can't function as intended. For those quickly disliking this is a firefox thing. Its good to be skeptical in these times but please use due diligence :)

Tiny correction - it's not even hashing username - it's randomly generated
Regarding the situation with permissions:
The extension only collects data that it requires to function.
The extension can only access these permissions on two sites - YouTube and it's own returnyoutubedislike - on all other sites it's not even allowed to "turn on".
Personally identifiable information - RYD’s randomly generated private user ID used to count votes, not your real identity.
Browsing activity - i.e. navigating to the next video, so that the next dislikes can be shown
Website content - i.e. the like\dislike container element
Website activithy - i.e. clicking like or dislike button.
As I already said - only on YouTube. Not everywhere.
Nothing in the extension changed - it’s open-source, so you can verify that yourself. What changed is how Mozilla labels privacy-related permissions.
The new labels sound scary, but they describe the same data the extension has always used. - Noté 5 sur 5par g1zm02k, il y a 13 heuresOh no, an extension requires information to do its job properly; everyone panic and start hoarding toilet rolls and bottled water!
2020's lunacy at its finest🤦🏻♂️
Nice update Dmitry, it's looking mighty fine. Sorry you have to suffer the deranged rantings of the masses, it's not like they got off their arses and made a similar extension themselves; ungrateful buggers.
Thanks man, much appreciated!Réponse du développeur

- Noté 5 sur 5par Suspect, il y a 15 heuresDo we finally have an update? And it hasn’t even been three years...
- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 20152964 de Firefox, il y a 15 heuresalright I was initially frightened by the personal data consent request in the 4.0.6 update just like others have stated in recent reviews. i am NOT good at reading code, but even still i can view every single commit made for this update on the github. i completely understand why people are worried about this update, but reacting based on emotions isn't going to find the truth. check the github, read the code, check the security faq, and be willing to learn.
i do also want to say to the developer that your response to people's reviews has been, in my eyes, very unprofessional. even though i personally believe that you're in the right, it's still important to treat customers with respect. the security FAQ that explains this whole situation is only on the github. i believe it should be front and center in this extension page's about section. there might be less uninformed outcry if it were that much more visible.
aside from that though, the new features are excellent and i look forward to using it more. thanks again for both your effort and the github contributorsRéponse du développeur

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. Our server also sees your IP address when you connect.
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.

Everything collected is only related to YouTube and is anonymized, the same as what previous versions were doing. The only thing that changed was how Mozilla classifies permissions.

"From November 3, 2025, all new extensions must adopt the Firefox built-in data collection consent system. Extensions must state if and what data they collect or transmit. New versions and updates for add-ons created before November 3 don’t need to use this feature, but will have to at a later date."
This appears to apply in this case :)Réponse du développeur
