- Rated 5 out of 5by ViscoseComb24, 10 hours agoIt's nice to be able to see dislikes again. There was seemingly no good reason to remove them from the public eye to begin with, aside from restricting information to the viewer. Glad this extension exists.

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 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bowsarge, 24 days agoPeople are panicking for nothing. Simply put, they only log info from youtube. You can also disable the logging by clicking the extension at the top and opting in to disable the logging. Mine was already disabled because I disabled it long before FF made extensions report any collection. The dev has even dropped the link to the github files. Just chill and read his response to bad reviews and try to understand.

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 - Rated 5 out of 5by nils, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20200698, a month agoNOTHING HAS CHANGED, you can still opt-out of data being collected under the Options tab > "Disable logging to console" for this addon. This has always been there, it's just the FireFox had changed their policy so addons/extensions now have to report this.
Some people are just too quick to judge before verifying, lol.Developer response

So this is wrong:
Recent update started to collect information, browsing data, etc... So it look like it turned into spyware.Developer response

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.

Website activity - clicking Like or Dislike.
Again, we’re talking about YouTube activity. The extension isn’t watching everything you do across the internet - it simply can’t with these site permissions.
The new labels can sound alarming, but they don’t give the extension access to additional websites.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12720423, a month agoDoes what it claims well. Everyone who's freaking about the permissions change needs to calm down and go read up on it more. It's not doing anything nefarious/different. It's not spying on everything you do. It's not saving your youtube info.
You can go into extensions settings and view permissions for an extension in Firefox and it shows you the sites/urls that the extension is allowed to operate on. If it's not listed there, then Firefox itself won't allow the extension to access information on other sites.
Scroll down and read comments from the developer which have more complete information on what actually happened.Developer response
