postuar më 8 orë më parëThanks for sharing your concerns about the data RYD uses.
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.
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.
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 can sound scary, but they don’t give the extension access to more websites.

- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 12203044 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 27 minuta më parëI'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". - Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 123, 40 minuta më parë

And if you don't like it - you can disable it in the settings.

Premium features are there to cover cost of handling servers for 20 million people - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Alt_F4, 4 orë më parëHmm... 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.Përgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 4 orë më parëIt'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 - Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 20158568 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 4 orë më parëI 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.Përgjigje zhvilluesi
postuar më 4 orë më parëIt'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) - Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga JayQ, 5 orë më parëNew update - 09/11/2026 -it now collects personal information - Uhhhhhh no thanks. Never worked for me anyways.

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.Përgjigje zhvilluesi

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.
