pubblicato il 2 giorni faSorry 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.
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.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Alt_F4, 15 minuti faHmm... I'm not sure about the recent permission changes, but I will choose to believe your words that it's because of Mozilla's new requirements. Leaving a 5 star to combat the review bombing.
That being said, it would be a good idea to make the reasons for the change more public and widespread. It is very easy to misunderstand your intentions.
EDIT: Upon deeper research, it seems the fault mainly lies in Modzilla and their abrupt new changes. I'm sorry this upsetting situation has happened to you. - Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 20158568, 18 minuti faI don't care if Mozilla recommends it or if you super pinky promise not to collect more than is needed for the addon to function. The permission is far too broad for me to ever accept it.

Ruined extension.
Delete and report.
They are scamming us by using the Mozilla recommendation system. - Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 18650669, 2 ore fa

RYD is open source, so you can see how it works: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike- There's a pointless premium panel taking up space on my YouTube page, and then I started getting pop-ups on Firefox restart for this extension only.
I haven't seen a single AD since like 2010 when browsing these sites and I haven't installed a spam extension on my browser since the 90s, I'm not going to get popups over a like/dislike button.
Stop spamming and remove premium garbage from UI by default for people who don't want it (that is, before the option is toggled). Don't add premium advertising popups to ruin AD-free experience of users who don't browse web on garbage mobile phones (and thus are used to such nonsense).
I installed this extension for fun, it doesn't add anything to my experience and is not crucial enough for me to get spammed by ADS by one extension out of all others I use.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 11 ore fa> There's a pointless premium panel taking up space
You can close the panel with one click on the x in the top right corner. It also shows raw dislike counts to free users, which was a requested feature.
> I installed this extension for fun, it doesn't add anything to my experience and is not crucial enough for me to get spammed by ADS by one extension out of all others I use.
That's fair - it's up to you whether the extension is useful enough for you to keep using or support.
Being free to use doesn't make it free to run. I still have server costs to cover, and the paid features help cover those costs. Supporting it is entirely your choice, but I do need a way to keep it running. - First time leaving a comment, was feeling uncertain about the new permission so I was hesitant to update but after checking sources and reading reviews I choose to trust you and leave a five-star review to support in wake of the review bombing
I will forever think it's stupid YT removed dislikes because one of their own videos bombed. So thanks, Dmitry, keep up the good workReplica dello sviluppatore

pubblicato il 12 ore faUnfortunatelly hosting ~12TB database with a load of ~20 million unique daily users costs some money. Donations died down and the extension would run out of money to function.
Existence of a new premium feature doesn't affect you in any way - you can still use it for free as you did before - and somebody else will pay to cover your costs. Isn't it a win-win?- Valutata 1 su 5di Shadowbane1992, 12 ore faFirst time writing a review here, Firefox changing things and creating a popup I can understand isn't a fault of extension developers; However, now I'm seeing BS like "premium for raw likes and dislikes."
I didn't download this to be advertised some nonsense. There are other extensions that do the same thing, so this particular one doesn't need to clog my day to day with unnecessities.
EDIT/REPLY: No, it is not a win-win. When I look and see some ad in place of what I'm used to seeing, you've made it invasive. Do what other developer's do and have a 1 time popup upon install that says "consider donating to keep it alive!" And leave it at that.

> EDIT/REPLY:Do what other developer's do and have a 1 time popup upon install that says "consider donating to keep it alive!" And leave it at that.
That is pretty much what it is. It's a one time changelog on update install. But I wanted to give something back for donations.
Closing that changelog (that only appears on browser restart, so the least intrusive time I hoped - as all extension changelogs do) is just one click
> Do what other developer's do
This extension likely has the largest database and traffic load of all extensions in the store. I.e. the highest costs to run
> There are other extensions that do the same thing
They all use my API. So if this extension dies - they all die too. This was one update message over 5 years of existence of the extension. Due to costs starting to exceed donations.

pubblicato il 12 ore faThe extension only collects a randomly generated user id, and your vote with a like\dislike. That is literally everything that is being sent - bare minimum for it to function. Nothing is being sold.
If even the random user id is too much for you - there is an option to disable vote submission in settings. Then extension collects nothing (but your dislikes don't count anymore - so it's up to you)- The extension has barely worked for me in a while and now it asked for more permissions to collect data. The developer is replying aggressively to people unhappy about it - "Sorry the message about new features bothered you.", "Handling YouTube-scale traffic and storing dozens of terabytes of like/dislike data on a school-lunch budget ain’t that easy". Nobody is forcing you to do this. Maybe you should get a job at Google if you want to sell people's data for money.

Sorry if that came across as aggressive, I was doing my best to be polite - like honestly, no sarcasm here. English isn't my first language.
I was rude in some earlier messages - but there I was quite direct about being rude, no pretending.
"Sorry the message about new features bothered you.", - this isn't about the permissions - this is about the message with the list of new features. Some of which are paid - to pay for the extension servers. It is ***NOT ABOUT SELLING YOUR DATA.*** Replica dello sviluppatore
