Reviews for DownThemAll!

posted 2 years agoThis highly misleading. Yes, DTA has that "Access your data for all websites" permission. It is required to make the "DownThemAll! All Tabs" feature work. Without it, DTA would only able to work on the presently active tab.
I'd rather have a more fine-grained permission, but that isn't offered by the browsers.
Anyway, the privacy policy clearly states that DTA does not collect any data, it does in fact not collect any data, and the add-on is open source so you can check that for yourself, the code inside the shipped package is not minified so you can check it as well.
Furthermore each version is reviewed by mozilla, and actually reviewed thoroughly as a requirement for getting the recommended badge. "Stealing" user data would be against mozilla policy and they wouldn't approve such an add-on. Not that I ever would do such a thing, and I've been doing DTA since 2006 so I have a little bit of a track record of NOT stealing user data.
So, use the add-on or don't. But please do not insinuate falsehoods.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Yeko, 22 days agoI know that this add-on has been rendered useless by the fakes at Mozilla who claim that they are out there to make a better Internet but in reality serve the Big Ad and fight an all-out war against all of us, but still Nils simply gave up and decided to go with the flow and make this add-on useless.
Yes, after more than a decade of using this to download tens of 1000s of files, in a restartable, multi-stream manner, with hash checking, to the destination folder of my choice, this new DTA has become useless crap. I am still keeping an instance of PaleMoon with the old DTA, to do the same thing that I used to, and this new version is only good for a trash can.
Multi-stream missing - check.
Hash function missing - check.
Destination is only the Downloads folder - check.
To sum it up: useless. - Rated 5 out of 5by NADIM, 22 days ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Wes, 23 days agoThe extension is easy to add and use. However, all the URL of the files still point to the online source. So if I download a page that has a link in the same URL folder and it is downloaded also, the first page URL does not point to the second dowloaded file. Very frustrating. I will have to write a script that modifies all the links.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Korwin, 3 months agoI assume that this extension allows downloading a group of files that differ only in the number in the file name. But I don't understand what values I need to specify in the seven-field form ("Download", "Custom Filename", "Referrer", "Title", "Description", "Mask" and "Subfolder"). The tooltips are not enough for me.
