Question

Is YouDisLike safe?

Accepted Answer

YouDisLike is high risk. Each time you open a new browser tab, the extension generates or retrieves a persistent random identifier stored in its local storage, then sends it to trrrrk.click — a Matomo analytics endpoint — along with a category label of "user_presence". The request fires at most once per 24 hours and is rate-limited via a stored timestamp. The extension's Chrome Web Store listing describes it as a YouTube dislike counter; the transmission to trrrrk.click is not disclosed in the listing or in any consent prompt. The extension's analytics endpoint is hardcoded as trrrrk.click/matomo.php. The domain name does not identify its owner or purpose. There is no opt-out mechanism, no configuration option to disable it, and no mention of this domain in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing. The developer controls what data is logged or retained at that endpoint.
