self-destruction

V10 is GARBAGE! Avoid it at all costs! Do not upgrade to it, and if you already have, rollback to the previous version. If you use V10, you will regret it very soon and for the rest of time. V9.5 is 5 stars, V10 is 1 star.

Ruined it. New version just popped up on my install and now my downloads don't complete, they stall and sites I've left continue to try and offer downloads. RUINED IT.

New update completely ruins this extension. Heres hoping we can go back to a time before this extension became low quality paid slop

Was working great until the latest update. Downloads have now slowed to a crawl.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING UPDATE!!! Not to mention, I am searching for something different and suggest others do the same. Others say "watermark"? Are you joking? Why are all videos coming from one IP? Before every video downloaded from different IP and process was not under Firefox, but rather under FFMPEG, and I could NetLimit every video individually on constrained 4G internet. It is a joke. Downloads failing left and right. Non-descript streams, need to dive into "details" window to determine what language I am downloading. Before I was downloading LAV 720p (video together with audio), but now forced to download ENG together with video stream and have to download LAV audio seperately. Why 3 identical audio streams? WHERE CAN I SEE AUDIO BITRATE DIFFERENCES ON DIFFERENT STREAMS??? Exactly... nowhere. Before it worked with just one A/V stream showing. Where is temp folder, not "dwhelper" anymore? FUCK FANCY ANIMATIONS!!! I need functionality. What is this shit, pay to win?

Unusable after the newest update. Every download fails.

What have you done? The Dec 25 update is awful. The interface is terrible and there is no option to use the old interface and download method meaning you are forced to use the built in crappy slow downloader. You took one of the most useful extensions and flushed it down the toilet.

QR overlap a huge part of video, it's a garbage extension

Ставить сраний QR code у кутку відео та просить гроші.

Won't download a single video now just fails

Overlays an automatic English translation on the original soundtrack.

Works but it adds later a "Watermark" a BIG QR code of 1/6 video's size (giant)

Used to be a wonderful, stable app - then "Sarah" or whoveer runs this app hijacked it with a pay to play scheme or be stuck with every download in German language and a QR code eating up a quarter of the screen. Real scumbag move...just in time for the holidays. Here's one star and a lump of metaphorical coal.

It appears this software does not download YouTube videos, based on my experience with version 9.5.0.2. I found that no videos were detected on YouTube pages.

Now it has paywall BOOM !!! of 30 dollars, and u have to pay more 19 dolllar if you want for chromium based browser, This trash is never seeing a cent from my pocket,

It's no more old video downloader helper, Hope FIrefox will remove this extension from their recommendation

excellent module , pratique et efficace, le seul souci c'est que parfois la vidéo en français est traduite en anglais de manière inopportune, sinon pas de souci de téléchargement. Parfois au bout d'un certain nombre de téléchargements il n'est plus possible de continuer, cette limitation me "gâche le plaisir", dommage

The newly required Lifetime License fee to remove the QR code should be fairly priced at $4.99

The 'Red Pill' Reality: the 'engine' doing the heavy lifting (downloading & converting) is still just FFmpeg, which is free, open-source software built by volunteers. You are essentially paying $30 for lifetime access to a dashboard that drives a free car.

To be fair to the Developer: Paul and his team built a very polished Link Sniffer and a nice UI. They also updated the 'Companion App' to handle HLS streams smoothly. For a non-technical user, this convenience has some value.

Why $4.99 is the fair price: You are paying for the convenience of not using a command line. That is worth a cup of coffee ($5), not the price of a full premium indie video game ($30).

How to do it yourself for free (The steps they don't want you to know): If you have 5 minutes, you can replicate this 'Premium' functionality for $0:

Option A (Web-based & Clean): Use cobalt[dot]tools. Unlike other sites, it has NO ads and NO trackers. (Pro Tip: Smart users run uBlock Origin anyway, which makes the free web safer than many paid apps).

Option B (Power User):

Install 'The Stream Detector' (Firefox addon) to sniff the links just like this extension does.

Click it -> select 'Copy yt-dlp command'.

Paste that into your terminal with yt-dlp (free open source).

A premium UI but the 'magic' is free elsewhere. Save your money unless you are allergic to keyboards.

trash lure Freemium app

Mit jedem verfluchten Firefox update geht die Registrierung flöten ... Ich habe schon bezahlt und werde es kein zweites mal tun ... Thema durch. entfernen fertig Ich hab da keinen Bock mehr drauf.

I just hate the crappy and annoying humongous QR code watermark.

Works for a while then quits downloading but doesn't give a reason why. It just keeps saying download failed. Then it started demanding I buy a conversion license. Not wasting any more time with it.
