The developers of this app should explain to us what purpose they need to force us to provide the following permissions:
Read and edit your browser download history
Access the tabs
Access activities while browsing
Access data from all websites
Access and edit your bookmarks.
In the latest update it automatically installs in the sidebar, overlapping the bookmarks while before it was on the toolbar and there is no way to move it.
Finally, it has become very slow to download compared to the past, and therefore I think I will reluctantly remove it.

"Download failed

Sadly we failed at downloading that specific media. We try to support as many websites as possible, so it would help a lot if you could report that error (it's anonymous!)."

Sure. Ok. Just like I'll "try" to support you with payment. Get over yourself.

After the major version up, it stopped working on some sites.

куда эта поибень скачала файлы, непонятно. И настроек никаких нет, чтобы посмотреть. Поддерживает далеко не все сайты

The latest version, with its sidebar and clunkiness, is a big step in the wrong direction.

It was the best but unfortunately now it is unstable, slow and not helpfull like was . Please fix it ....please it was the best...

Irgendwie war die vorherige Version besser. Da konnte man mehrere Dateien herunterladen. Nun muss ich warten bis es fertig ist bevor ich zum nächsten gehen kann.
Ich überlege ob ich ihn so weiter nutze oder etwas neues suche.

Vieles läßt sich nicht mehr herunterladen, wird immer schlimmer...

The new UI is terrible, but there is an option to return back to the old one, so that's good. I just hope it wasn't as hidden as it is but whatever, I could bear with it. What I can't bear with however is the enforcement of a huge QR code on the video. A shame, because it was the best video downloader out there.

I was about to make a donation because this extension was starting to work really well with the latest updates to the companion application.
Today I updated it by launching Firefox: nothing works any more, it's not even visible...
You just see it in the list of extensions, no settings, nothing.

Was the best... after the last update on my macbook intel using firefox doesnt' work anymore like before :( always bug report....

1. After the U.I. of Video DownloadHelper was updated, voiced and half-voiced marks are no longer added to Japanese file names.
Also, the first character of the file name [Mosaic Destruction] automatically changes to Mosaic.
Returning to Legacy U.I. will restore normality.
2. After using the new "Installed companion app: VdhCoApp 2.0.19", when a download error occurs, it is no longer clear which video is causing the error.
I would appreciate it if you could fix the above two points.

インターフェイスが変更されて手間が一つ増えた感がある。
それより問題なのは、ダウンロードしたファイル名が変更されてしまう不具合がある。
日本語の濁音、半濁音は全て濁音なしになる。
例）「が」→「か」、「ペ」→「へ」
通常は起こりえない変換なので、意図的にやってるとしか思えない。
記号や句読点、果てはカンマやピリオドもすべて消える。
保存されるファイル名は全て使い物にならない。
また、サイトによってはダウンロードできなくなる。

悪いことは言わないので、Ver.8.2.2.8を試して欲しい。
これは上記の不満がすべて解消される素晴らしいアドオンだ。
Ver.9は使い物にならないが、8.2.2.8ならきっと素晴らしいネットライフを送れるはずだ。

porque aparece ahora marca de agua???
cuando la extension era (obsoleta ) o nueva era mas facil con el auxiliar que se descargaba y ahora que "mejoro" en su ultima updated al parecer empeoro.
es triste ver que las cosas las dañan por intereses de "cualquier indole$" per deberian retirar la marca de agua que aparece al descargar los videos.
si dañan la alicacion lo mas probale es que se preparen para archivarla.
amo la aplicacion pero cuando comienzan los desarrolladores a cometer errores en contra del usuario .... es cuando toca abandonarlos.

Ruining a good app. A hopeless layout, disturbing pop-up side bar (i dont know how back to download in menu icon) and useless download application that creates many problems. There is no history in browser!, you can't go to the file, you can't see when you download it in browser etc. The application is currently too annoying, so I decided to use another one.
