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.
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.
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

And if you don't like it - you can disable it in the settings. It's how extension worked since day 1 - Evaluat(ă) cu 1 din 5 stelede Utilizator Firefox 13755321, 3 ore în urmă
- Evaluat(ă) cu 5 din 5 stelede Utilizator Firefox 12203044, 3 ore în urmăI'm writing this for other reviewers in case they read it. Firefox did change their policies, they implemented more clarifying information options regarding permissions and data, which they require the developers to use, but these options are too broad and they kind of backfire, and despite what the developer of this addon claims, it's a failure on Firefox's side.
And no, this addon DOES NOT simply revert Youtube's change of removing the dislike counter. Nobody knows the exact number as it is inaccessible, hence the app requires data to calculate a close estimate based on user activity. Literally nobody can "just return Youtube dislikes".
Edit: "RYD hasn’t changed how it handles your data. What changed is Mozilla’s wording for these permissions - not what the extension does with your data." That's what I was trying to say too. Mozilla is asking for more / different clarification, but they are only confusing things in some situations, like here.Răspunsul dezvoltatorului

postat la o oră în urmăSorry 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:

Premium features are there to cover cost of handling servers for 20 million people - Evaluat(ă) cu 5 din 5 stelede Alt_F4, 7 ore în urmăHmm... 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.Răspunsul dezvoltatorului
postat la 6 ore în urmăIt's not even "fault", it's just a bit of unfortunate choice of words. They don't tell people that I only access YouTube, and on YouTube - I only use a randomly generated UserId - to track votes.
From the notice it looks like now I'm collecting all the data on all the sites - Evaluat(ă) cu 1 din 5 stelede Utilizator Firefox 20158568, 7 ore în urmăI 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.
EDIT: You can make whatever excuse you want. The permission is too broad. Piss off.Răspunsul dezvoltatorului
postat la 6 ore în urmăIt's not a super pinky promise - it's stated in the extension permissions - it has access only to YouTube.
And as for the the rest - it's opensource, so anyone can check (and verify that you download the same code from the FF store) - Evaluat(ă) cu 1 din 5 stelede JayQ, 8 ore în urmăNew update - 09/11/2026 -it now collects personal information - Uhhhhhh no thanks. Never worked for me anyways.

The problem is that most people imagine that I use their emails\names\etc. I do not.
