yazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 12203044, 3 gün önceI'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.

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.
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 can 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
