PERMISSIONS
The message shown by Google Chrome for the requested permissions are very far from the real needs of the extension, but Ratings Preview for YouTube™ requires them for the following reasons:
* Access your tabs and browsing activity: this permission is required to show the configuration icon over the address bar when a tab enters in youtube.com. You can still hide the icon if you want.
* Access your data on all websites: this is required for showing the related videos' rating bars inside the player when the video ends in the case of embedded videos.
TRADEMARKS

Latest reviews
- (2021-01-26) Isaias Baez: My youtube history stopped working on my PC and after a lot of testing I noticed that disabling Ratings Preview for YouTube resolves the issue. Noticed that it asks permission to ALL sites as well which is not part of the scope of this extension and is really shady. And noticing some reviews, it has been proven to do some weird forward to different sites as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbMHuNpOg2s Will uninstall and report abuse.

- (2020-11-16) benjamin957957: Bug: When there are chapters for a YouTube video and I when I click to “View chapter” (near the video’s progress bar), there is a “Chapters” tab that appears beside the video on the right. On the bottom of the Chapters tab there is a ratings bar that shouldn’t be there. Because of that, I cannot scroll on the Chapters tab. I have disabled this extension and had no issues scrolling on the Chapters tab. I have tested this on the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL6a8dTeUXk

- (2020-09-09) Franziskus Primbs: MALWARE. BRINGT GOOGLE CHROME DAZU JEDE FÜNFTE SUCHANFRAGE PER YAHOO ZU MACHEN. Das ist einfach nur frech und erbärmlich.

- (2020-08-22) JT JT: I loved it until they started to meddle with my web searches and redirecting me to Yahoo. GTHOH Ratings Preview! Please vote it as Helpful so that everyone is aware
- (2020-08-21) Andrew Harris: Is now adware which will randomly send your searches in chrome to Yahoo. Shame, because otherwise a good app. You can set the permissions to change site data on just Youtube.com, but I don't want to use something by a Dev who would do that in such a sneaky way.
- (2020-08-20) Joe Sullivan: Downloaded again just to write this review and let you know you are the scum of the earth. Been a loyal user for years and now you're gonna sneaky redirect me to yahoo? You are truly bottom feeders. Nobody uses yahoo for a reason. Don't get this extension. It's malware now.
