by Firefox user 20177296, 8 days agoRequiring new permissions but no easily accessible way to tell why they're needed. Should update the extension description here or on your website to explain what changed.
Developer response

Here's the same problem discussed by Sponsorblock's author:

"Personal data" mentioned - is the random user id used to count likes and dislikes
"Browsing activity" = detecting that you navigated to the next video to show you the dislikes for the next video
"Website activity" - clicking likes and dislikes.
This is how the extension worked from the day one - but now Mozilla requires explicit user consent for this. And they do it on update release - which makes users think that something in the extension changed.
