It would be helpful to have an option to disable the addon from adding missing streaming links. There has been a number of times where the added link wasn't related to the release, and it would be helpful for those who want to add missing links themselves.

This extension is really convenient, however a feature that could be added and would greatly improve the extension is the ability to filter your ratings by date. The extension lets you filter by rating, format, and status. You can add 'strm_relyear' to the url on rym and then a date at the end of the url to look at the dates, having a way to do that with the UI would be possible to implement the same way as the other filter buttons. In case my grammar is not clear, 'rateyourmusic.com/collection/[user]/strm_relyear,ss.ed.rd,r5.0/2020s' is an example showing all the 2020s ratings from that user, and you can change the decade to see 2010s, etc.

This is a very useful extension, but it needs changes or clarifications around its permissions. Both the Chrome and Firefox extension are not limited to access data only on the rateyourmusic site. It's also not clear why it requires access to the browsing history on Chrome, and browser tabs on Firefox.
