оприлюднено 5 днів томуSorry 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.

- Оцінка 5 з 5від i can't read, 8 годин томуWhen I first saw the extension requiring "new" permissions like PII, the first thing I did was check the reviews if anyone had any information on why these new perms were required and if it'd be better to uninstall.
I was not expecting that person to be the developer of the extension, with a full in-depth explanation of why each new perm was needed, if the extension was trusted, and information on why the permissions were rebranded.
This is the first time I've EVER seen a developer take the time to read negative reviews, explain, and attempt to help with any issues. I've been using this extension for a while, and I could tell this project was difficult to maintain just based on how it was made.
You are perhaps the greatest developer I've seen purely for actually listening to what people had to say and addressing the constant 1 star reviews with actual notes. I created an account purely to say that this extension has been great for quite a while now, and keeping servers alive with little monetization, pushing out updates, taking time to read feedback, addressing questions, it's all extremely impressive and genuinely makes me want to support the project. Cheers mate.Відповідь розробника

i think the best course of action would just be to leave this addon for now and come back when this issue has been resolvedВідповідь розробника

- Оцінка 1 з 5від Uruxul, 17 годин томуDatamine 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.

оприлюднено 9 годин томуRecommended extensions go through a thorough review to publish an update. - Оцінка 4 з 5від Shin-Cataro, 17 годин томуI 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.Відповідь розробника

- Оцінка 4 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18691224, 17 годин томуThis 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.Відповідь розробника
оприлюднено 9 годин томуI didn't know how this would look to end users. This is pretty new in Firefox. - Оцінка 1 з 5від gf22, 17 годин томуThe 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.Відповідь розробника

It's gathering a random user id and your votes - likes and dislikes - to show dislike counts. That's how the addon always worked - Оцінка 1 з 5від Користувач Firefox 20026742, 20 годин томуasking for data for no reason all of a sudden
