by マンサー, 5 months agoCould have warned you'd put a giant, 100% opaque qrcode watermark using 1/4 of the screen with it's removal behind a paywall BEFORE users hit the "Add to Firefox" button and try out by themselves, but oh well, gotta increase that sweet number of downloads button at any cost, am I right?
Was looking for a quick built-in solution to replace JDownloader. Lucky I tested it before downloading a video that was about to be removed 1 hour after, and had time to remove this garbage and have the original video in my hands before that happen. The search for a built-in solution continues...
The concept of ransomware:
A type of malicious software that encrypts a victim's files or locks them behind their system, making it unusable until a ransom is paid to the attacker. If it's the only copy available, the victim has no choice but to pay.
What this addon does:
Downloads a video and put a giant qrcode at the bottom-left corner occupying 1/4 of it. The qrcode leads to a page you have to pay to have it removed. If this is the only copy left, you have no options but to pay.
So, not only does this addon walks an uncanny blurry line on an actual crime, firefox endorses it.
"Firefox only recommends add-ons that meet our standards for security and performance." OHOHOH is that so?? Thank god I only use hardened forks.

- Rated 1 out of 5by KayZ, 2 days agoComplete scam thanks to the recent ad and watermark rework.
If you had a patreon or Kofi I certainly would have chipped in a few dollars as thanks. But this makes it completely unusable. So no, screw you, and bring back the older version. - Rated 5 out of 5by rafki, 2 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13796962, 3 days agoI'm joining the ever increasing crowd of people downgrading their rating of this now useless app. Used to be great and easy to use. Then a watermark and conversion tool required at a price for high quality downloads. Lo-res was still available. Now you cannot download at any quality without the intrusive watermark. But the straw that broke the camel's back for me is that now every download is in German.
1 Star and happy to remove from my extentions. - Rated 5 out of 5by Wawel, 3 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Anonymous Fox, 3 days agoPhenomenal extension! When asking advice on how to rip videos, other users gave me the "utilize developer tools" trick, when all I needed was this one extension. It didn't just save videos- it saved me a headache. Thank you Dev's ~
