Well this is indeed misleading. It was actually great to see the dev of "return YouTube dislikes" chime in too since I disabled the addon because I saw the new permissions and noped the fuck out

I was curious what that was:

you can keep the old version, or you can check "disable vote submission" in settings. (counting your like\dislike votes is the evil "personal data transfer" that I do. But it's optional.
