Thanks! - Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 14334070, 4 måneder sidentrying to download a linux iso on sourceforge and it went straight to downloads and this extension acted like it didn't even know a download existed, total fail if it never asks to download at all, it's like xtreme download manager where you have to show it the download so no automation then it's useless to me.

postet 4 måneder sidenHello! Thank you for reaching out with your issue. Could you kindly describe it in more detail including the browser and FDM version, and forward it directly to our support team using this form: https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/support.htm - Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 18842995, 5 måneder sidenWhen running addon it has this statement as part of privacy policy:
"If you choose not to allow us to collect anonymous data, the FDM extension will be immediately removed from your browser."
This is not present on the privacy policy shared on firefox addon store.
The main issue is deception, but using such underhanded tactics is not great either. They never disclose what data will be collected or anonymized either.
Edit: found this response "We've implemented the recent anonymous data usage notification only to comply with the latest Mozilla’s requirements."
On one hand it is clearly stated that anonymous data is collected, on the other, this response implies that this is only because mozila required this statement. The only conclusion I can reach is that mozila is asking all addons to add this note no mater if they are collecting data or not, which, while possible, is hard to believe.
Edit 2: Some other comments from developers imply that this is to allow downloads (i.e. you need to send URL to server to download, etc). But all this is already called out separately and in great details outside of this mysterious anonymous telemetry. Thus, this is just necessary.Utviklerrespons
postet 5 måneder sidenHello! We are very sorry that the consent screen about data transfer have caused so many negative emotions among our users. However, as we've already explained, the FDM extension needs to transfer downloads to the FDM application in order to work. Without this transfer, the extension simply can’t function. Due to the latest Mozilla’s guidelines, this process now requires users to explicitly consent to the data transfer. If you find this requirement unacceptable, you can always uninstall the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will consider this before leaving a lower rating. Thank you. - Vurdert til 1 ut av 5av Shane, 5 måneder sidenI'm reviewing the business practice of forcing users to send anonymous data in order to use the add-on. I know they keep saying "but only anonymous data is sent" but that's not the point. User data is just that. User data. Regardless of any anonymization.

It gives you the chance to refuse, but you cannot use the plugin if you refuse.

I will look for alternatives. 1/5 because I can't give it 0/5. Awful.
