- Rated 1 out of 5by Chrismaro, a year agoSuddenly there is a large QR code in every video you download and they are trying to get you to buy a licence. This addon has become useless.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Manny, a year agoThe era of being the best video downloader has been ended due to requesting external app, the huge QR Code and requesting money to get rid of it. Too bad.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gojoban, a year agoNeed an additional add on to download videos, which is not a problem, but the problem is, the nice big QR Code in the lower left hand side. I downloaded a Japanese video to practice listing and reading Japanese and the QR code watermark covers some of the Kanji/Kana.
- Rated 1 out of 5by strongnc21, a year agoIt is absolutely asinine that they put a QR code watermark on downloaded videos here. Greedy authors are trying to get a payday on something that has been effectively been free on the internet for years.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Linux003, a year agoThis used to be good until they went and slapped a huge QR code to the videos you download. Going to start using online downloader/converter tools from now on.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Rando, a year agoThis add-ons is not free, will show a huge barcode on the video unless you pay.
say this on the start instead of wasting my time installing the add-on then installing the companion app to find a giant barcode that cover 30% of the video - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13459309, a year agoQr-code covers a vast part of the video, making this add-on useless

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15598021, a year agoNow requires an external executable to be run on your PC to use. It's been flagged as a Trojan. Don't use this extension anymore.

The downloader does not work on YouTube but says you need the companion app, fair enough so I download it.
It then adds a MASSIVE QR Code which you can only remove by PAYING for a license, this is a breach of Mozilla rules.
So I tested the companion download on VirusTotal plus some other sites.
The result says two sites found malware called W32.AIDetectMalware
VBA32 & TrojanDownloader.Private
So I test elsewhere and get this description for above
f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader.shtml#
this type of trojan secretly downloads malicious files from a remote server, then installs and executes the files.

No way I am risking this, there are other video download apps
