by jeff, a year agoStole this one as its about what I was going to wrote. Used to be good years ago. Don't bother anymore. I used to use this app like 3 years ago when it was small and unknown. It was great back then. Now they're making you jump through loopholes for the same thing. Now you have to download an external app (which defeats the purpose of an extension) and they watermark your videos. This didn't happen in the past. It is a shame to see a small, unknown app that used to be great turn into a money grab. Now looking for alternatives.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Wolf, 3 hours agoUsed to be great, I used to love this downloader. Now though? Now it slaps a GIANT QR code taking up literally 30% of the screen. Previously it was a watermark which was fine. But a giant watermark? What absolute garbage is this? And keep in mind this is ON TOP OF it making you download a program to your computer.
Honestly if you need a video, just screen record it. This is NOT going to work very well for you. Trust me.
Funny thing is I would happily donate to them if they were actually struggling but if you render the video I downloaded LITERALLY USELESS then no. Forget that. There are other options out there. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17000833, 5 hours ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Dir, 6 hours agoEs ágil y realmente útil, a prueba de casi todo. Hay algún formato que no puede bajar, pero aún así es perfecto.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18678153, 6 hours agoSuddenly there's a massive QR code in the corner of downloaded videos, which the extension tries to make you believe was always there before but it wasn't as I have used this extension for many years, and if you want to remove these QR codes you must pay $30 for a "conversion license". Complete and utter BS. I'll be moving onto other alternatives.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Reed Hastings, 7 hours agoI'm really tired of add ons like this not being honest, and mis-leading people in some way by promising us a free product which turns out to not really be free.
So-called "freemium" products (like this add on) should be fully transparent about it with people upfront and say "hey - you're not really getting a free lunch here", by us slapping an enormous watermark on to any video that's downloaded; and then - holding the file up hostage (with said watermark) until we "pony up the dough" for premium membership.
If you're not giving anyone a free product anymore than just say so dudes - preferably on your main add on page; so people like me are aware about it and about what we're adding onto our systems.
And as if all that wasn't bad enough - you require a third party app to be installed and "meshed into the cookie mix" of your product, by requiring a "companion app" which makes users download two programs to do one thing.
So.... you're expecting people to add a second add on to compliment yours - just so the thing works right, and then..... expect us to PAY for it on top of that also? Really? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18677972, 9 hours agoI found the listing of permissions and the necessity of another(?) program concerning. Nothing odd so far so go for it! Works wonderfully well.
