Why does this program need a mile-long list of permissions? Why can't it *ONLY* download videos???

I used this for many years as an excellent addon to download DailyMotion and rated it 5 stars, but it now doesn't work. It would be great if it could be fixed and I would then change the review back to 5 stars

Contains Malware. Many links (depends on site), once clicked or copied, are sent through a redirect site called "smartredirect.de".

Bug issue: When this add-on is enabled, I could not log in to overleaf. The overleaf website reports a bug: "reCAPTCHA placeholder element must be empty".
ryzen 4800h, Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS x86_64, firefox 92.0 (64-bit), this add-on version 1.0.9.86 .

Be careful when using this tool, it injects a redirection to out going links. Why would they do that! Not a safe thing to do. Who knows what other things are injected or hijacked.

Doesn't work on Youtube. Can't see anything on the page, no video files. A useless addition.
