User Reviews

Users praise BetterRYM for making RateYourMusic easier to use and indispensable for power users. The extension is seen as high-quality, but concerns about overly broad permissions and the reliability of the 'missing streaming links' feature persist. Other common requests center on expanding filters and improving UI for date-based views, multi-select filtering, and on-demand random picks.

Pros

Very useful and streamlines using RateYourMusic.
Essential tool for Power-Users of RYM (widely valued).
Generally high-quality and well-regarded extension.

Cons

Permissions are unclear/overbroad and should be restricted to rateyourmusic.com (limited to necessary data).
The 'missing streaming links' feature can mislink; users want a way to disable or control it.
Filter UI needs improvements (date filtering, multi-select options, and a random picker).

Amazing extension that makes using RYM much more streamlined. For the 'add missing streaming links on release pages' feature, it'd be great if you could set which streaming services you want displayed. RYM supports links for Deezer, Qobuz & Tidal (in addition to the 5 that show up on release pages) so being able to include these would be cool.

Is BetterRYM Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

BetterRYM requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

BetterRYM has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
