Never seems to work when you actually want it to work. Especially in youtube shorts.
It's a complete hit or miss with youtube shorts. It works when it wants. Never when YOU want it.
Update after update after update... they never seem to fix this shit for good.
One update, it works great with youtube. 10 another updates, DOESN'T. And that has been for years now.
It should add a little button bellow the video that once you click it, it FORCES to capture the video no matter what.

Can't download certain videos.

Initially, this thing didn't do what I wanted it to do. So I uninstalled it. It forced my computer to restart and logged me out of literally everything I was logged in to. Feels like Malware at this point. Do not download.

Every time I open the YouTube website, this IDM extension causes the main program to launch automatically, forcing me to manually close it. It's really annoying!

Everytime I open youtube the desktop app starts by itself and it's annoying.

The module of both this and chrome messing-up with naming rules of all other image downloader extensions I installed and I have to turn it off to fix it.
Consider to make it right on next version release.

Doesn't work on youtube.

Stop deleting my reviews. The latest update DID NOT fix the download panel issue. Most of the time the panel doesn't pop up and when it does, it only offers 360P as a download ... please re-investigate. :( UPDATE: V6.42.50 did NOT fix the problem ... still no pop-up) (V6.52 still nothing - WTF ... can we please revert to a working version like 6.30 ... geesh people!!!) Just updated to 6.42.58 on 18Dec2025 and now the download panel on YT is gone again, FFS people !!!

I bought a piece of junk software for $50 and can't download YouTube.

You've ruined this add-on mozilla! You can't choose the download quality anymore on youtube.
You've shut down the other working add-on to this.
Such a disappointment to a great pc app
