postad för 2 månader sedanHello! 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 - Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 18842995, för 3 månader sedanWhen 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.Utvecklarens svar
postad för 3 månader sedanHello! 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. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av Shane, för 3 månader sedanI'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.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Andrew Basson ZA, för 10 månader sedanClick add to fire fox, check , after that it brings up a page where you have to agree to data collection, I decline and presto it does not work, sorry I am reporting this add-on as I find it a horrible business practice to force users to accept data collection policies for a add-on that I intend to use for downloading
Note the add-on does not function if you decline data collectionUtvecklarens svar
postad för 9 månader sedanGreetings! The FDM extension requires permissions to be able to intercept audio and video downloads (some of downloads are cached by the browser and thus it's required to have access to the browser history). If you're referring to other types of data collection, kindly contact the support team using the form found on the official FDM website. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 18303476, för ett år sedan
