Recensioni per Return YouTube Dislike
Return YouTube Dislike di Dmitry Selivanov
Recensione di Voytash
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.

- Valutata 5 su 5di i can't read, 4 ore faWhen I first saw the extension requiring "new" permissions like PII, the first thing I did was check the reviews if anyone had any information on why these new perms were required and if it'd be better to uninstall.
I was not expecting that person to be the developer of the extension, with a full in-depth explanation of why each new perm was needed, if the extension was trusted, and information on why the permissions were rebranded.
This is the first time I've EVER seen a developer take the time to read negative reviews, explain, and attempt to help with any issues. I've been using this extension for a while, and I could tell this project was difficult to maintain just based on how it was made.
You are perhaps the greatest developer I've seen purely for actually listening to what people had to say and addressing the constant 1 star reviews with actual notes. I created an account purely to say that this extension has been great for quite a while now, and keeping servers alive with little monetization, pushing out updates, taking time to read feedback, addressing questions, it's all extremely impressive and genuinely makes me want to support the project. Cheers mate.Replica dello sviluppatore

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.
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 - it's probably just nothing, but i still dont trust saying yes to a popup that literally asks to spy on me. i don't know how to code, i can't verify what this permission is actually for, and with the current state of the internet i don't trust any of u guys to tell me if this is legit or not
i think the best course of action would just be to leave this addon for now and come back when this issue has been resolvedReplica dello sviluppatore

- Datamine your butthole. And your excuse about "extension is actually recommended by Mozilla" is bullshit - because if was recomended BEFORE this update, so label just got transfered further and means nothing. Its not warranty of addon update being checked by mozilla team before publishing.
Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 5 ore faRecommended extensions go through a thorough review to publish an update. - Valutata 4 su 5di Shin-Cataro, 13 ore faI Really hope its just a big misunderstanding, as you already answered all those many dislikes i had to just give this one 4/5 Stars, one star less, because it looks so horrible, i really do not like Datamining and i really want to trust you Mr. Dev... soooo I’ve told Mozilla about it, in the hopes that the wording gets corrected to match what the extension is actually doing.
No one in their right mind would opt into data mining like this, even if it’s just the appearance of it being wrong.
Especially because many extensions these days are going in that direction, data is the oil of the modern technocracy, so to speak.
If the concerns are unfounded, I hope you can clarify that soon Mr. Dev. If not, well… i just hope we still can trust you.Replica dello sviluppatore

- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 18691224, 13 ore faThis is definitely a issue of communication, because people are just so tired of their information being stolen that generic tags to do a feature has everyone on high alert.
The plugin being open source and the dev responding to questions and criticism is what saved it. If a popup for the update happened before its update to explain what it actually does, I feel this would have been avoided.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 5 ore faI didn't know how this would look to end users. This is pretty new in Firefox. - The dev is trying to gaslight people in the replies to low star reviews saying that nothing about the extension has change and the reason it is asking for more permissions is just because Mozilla changed how they label the permissions but that's a flat out lie.
As many others have pointed out the add-on is now gathering unique identifiable user data, there is no way to prove that he is selling user data but it is the most likely explanation.
The other way the developer keeps trying to gaslight people is by claiming "Clearly nothing changed since we are a recommended add-on" knowing full well that the Recommended badge DOES NOT get reviewed with every new update. I have reported the new practices from this dev to Mozilla and I encourage everybody else do to the same.Replica dello sviluppatore

It's gathering a random user id and your votes - likes and dislikes - to show dislike counts. That's how the addon always worked Replica dello sviluppatore
