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.

Here’s the same problem discussed by Ajay, the author of SponsorBlock and DeArrow:
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/the-new-data-transmission-permissions-seem-to-be-misleading-to-users/149410

The extension is actually recommended by Mozilla, so they do not consider it harmful or dangerous.

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 sound scary, but they don’t give the extension access to more websites.

Not for all - for youtube only. I.e. the site where it needs the data to function

The message about new features is 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.

Dzięki za opinię!

RYD nie zmienił sposobu, w jaki przetwarza Twoje dane. Zmieniło się to, jak Mozilla opisuje te uprawnienia - a nie to, co rozszerzenie robi z Twoimi danymi.

Ten sam problem omawia Ajay, autor SponsorBlock i DeArrow:
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/the-new-data-transmission-permissions-seem-to-be-misleading-to-users/149410

Rozszerzenie korzysta tylko z danych potrzebnych do wyświetlania liczby łapek w dół i zliczania głosów.

Jego uprawnienia do stron obejmują YouTube oraz własne API pod adresem returnyoutubedislikeapi.com. RYD nie odczytuje innych stron, a te uprawnienia nie pozwalają mu uzyskać do nich dostępu.

Oto, co oznaczają te uprawnienia:

Dane umożliwiające identyfikację osoby - losowo wygenerowany, anonimowy identyfikator użytkownika RYD, używany do zliczania głosów. To nie jest Twoje konto Google ani YouTube.

Aktywność przeglądania - otwieranie kolejnego filmu na YouTube, żeby rozszerzenie mogło wysłać jego identyfikator i pobrać nową liczbę łapek w dół.

Zawartość strony - na przykład widoczna liczba łapek w górę, która pomaga obliczyć szacunkową liczbę łapek w dół.

Aktywność na stronie - klikanie łapki w górę lub w dół.

Jeszcze raz: chodzi o aktywność na YouTube. Rozszerzenie nie obserwuje wszystkiego, co robisz w internecie - te uprawnienia do stron po prostu mu na to nie pozwalają.

Nowe opisy mogą brzmieć niepokojąco, ale nie dają rozszerzeniu dostępu do większej liczby stron.

RYD ma otwarty kod źródłowy, więc możesz sprawdzić, jak działa: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike

Danke für dein Feedback.

RYD hat nicht geändert, wie es mit deinen Daten umgeht. Geändert hat sich, wie Mozilla diese Berechtigungen bezeichnet - nicht, was die Erweiterung mit deinen Daten macht.

Hier bespricht Ajay, der Autor von SponsorBlock und DeArrow, dasselbe Problem:
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/the-new-data-transmission-permissions-seem-to-be-misleading-to-users/149410

Die Erweiterung wird tatsächlich von Mozilla empfohlen, Mozilla hält sie also nicht für schädlich oder gefährlich.

Die Erweiterung verwendet nur die Daten, die sie benötigt, um Dislike-Zahlen anzuzeigen und Stimmen zu zählen.

Die Website-Berechtigungen gelten für YouTube und die eigene API unter returnyoutubedislikeapi.com. RYD liest keine anderen Websites aus, und diese Website-Berechtigungen können nicht dazu verwendet werden, auf sie zuzugreifen.

Personenbezogene Daten - die zufällig generierte, anonyme Nutzer-ID von RYD, die zum Zählen der Stimmen verwendet wird. Das ist nicht dein Google- oder YouTube-Konto.

Surfaktivität - das Öffnen des nächsten YouTube-Videos, damit die Erweiterung dessen Video-ID senden und die neue Dislike-Zahl abrufen kann.

Website-Inhalte - zum Beispiel die sichtbare Anzahl der Likes, die bei der Schätzung der Dislikes hilft.

Website-Aktivität - das Klicken auf Like oder Dislike.

Noch einmal: Es geht um Aktivitäten auf YouTube. Die Erweiterung beobachtet nicht alles, was du im Internet machst - mit diesen Website-Berechtigungen kann sie das schlicht nicht.

Die neuen Bezeichnungen klingen beunruhigend, geben der Erweiterung aber keinen Zugriff auf weitere Websites.

RYD ist Open Source, du kannst dir also ansehen, wie es funktioniert: https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike
