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

- Ocena: 1/5Autor: Uruxul, 4 godziny temuDatamine 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.
- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Shin-Cataro, 4 godziny temuI 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. - Ocena: 1/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 20163256, 4 godziny temu
- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 18691224, 5 godzin temuThis 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. - Ocena: 1/5Autor: gf22, 5 godzin temuThe 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. - Ocena: 1/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 20026742, 8 godzin temuasking for data for no reason all of a sudden

the popup somehow also evaded my uBo filters 7 times before it stayed gone.
i really should not have updated this shit.Odpowiedź autora
Data: 11 godzin temu"the popup somehow also evaded my uBo filters 7 times before it stayed gone." - it's supposed to be only shown once in lifetime. May be ublock interracted with it in an unxepected way. sorry.
Sorry the message about new features bothered you.
The extension is actually recommended by Mozilla, so they do not consider it harmful or dangerous.
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:

Wondering if there's a way to stop it requesting new permissions, for good. I don't want or need to keep having to click Cancel, and keep having the warning symbol on the menu button on every relaunch of the browser. I shouldn't have to repeat the dissent to having my data collected.

This is the Firefox's behavior - not extensions, sorry, I'm working on what can be done to improve your experience. - Ocena: 1/5Autor: Parkreiner, 20 godzin temuThis is a datamining extension with persistent user IDs that track all of your YT browsing activity. I would remove it. It's not worth it at that point.

Data: 11 godzin temuThanks for sharing your concerns about the user ID and YouTube activity.
"with persistent user IDs that track all of your YT browsing activity." - this is factually wrong, it only tracks your likes and dislikes, which is obvious for an extension made to track your likes and dislikes. And it only uses a random id that is not attached to anything else.
