Ah, let me address some of your concerns.

1. The old userscript version contained a simple counter, where I could see how many unique users there were and how many videos were watched - but no personal information was collected. This current version / extension contains no tracking at all however. Nothing is collected. I take your privacy and security quite seriously.

2. The Github was actually suspended, it's not something I deleted or anything like that. Honestly I'm not too sure why, when I released the update announcing that the old UI was now fixed - they deleted it automatically. I think I said some stuff about living free that was too spicy haha.

Something like "I've been having a really oppressive time in Australia lately, managed to make this update last thing before moving overseas with my partner and I'm travelling one way to Germany. Down with the systems that control us, life free be free!"

To be real with you - I'm actually sending this message from a hostel in Tokyo and about to go to a rave. Making some pasta first with my gf haha. I'm a real person, this is not a large commercial product. I have zero interest in tracking you whatsoever. This is essentially a battle against large scale capitalism. Somehow this sort of honesty is really, really controlled lately. In fact it will get your Github deleted...

Anyway, I appealed to have the suspension lifted but they did not reply. I'd actually love to have the Github back online.


In terms of guarantees, I suppose ultimately there are none. However GoodTube has been working 100% of the time for almost 2 years now. That's a pretty good track record I feel. It's a complicated system I'm using but basically this uses Youtube's own terms of service against them and this extension will be very hard for them to stop.

So take it or leave it I guess. It is what it is. If you like it, by all means use it. If you don't that's fine too. But this negative review is kind of unfair and pointless I feel.
