yazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 18842995, 9 ay önceWhen 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.

gönderilme: 9 ay önceHello! 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.

gönderilme: bir ay önceHello! For the FDM browser addon to function correctly, it is required to install the Free Download Manager software. You can obtain the most recent version on the official site. If you encounter any other issues, please feel free to contact our support team through this form: https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/support.htm. - 5 üzerinden 5 puanyazan: Arman Daneshjoo, bir ay önce

And you can definitly improve your wording in the addon. If you had written hey its because mozilla has introduced that new policy I would have understood it immidiatly, but like its now I was not sure why you need to do that.
Lets see how good the extension is :D - 5 üzerinden 1 puanyazan: 1Beardrinks2Beers, 3 ay önce

gönderilme: 3 ay önceGreetings! We would like to state once more that the FDM extension only transmits the necessary data to launch downloads in the FDM client. The anonymous data usage alert was implemented purely to meet Mozilla's stipulations. If you find this unacceptable, you can always choose not to install the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll consider this before leaving a lower rating. Thank you.- 5 üzerinden 1 puanyazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 13040629, 3 ay önceForces you to opt into their "anonymous" data collection and if you decline, it uninstalls itself. Utter bullshit, if you ask me. Pay for IDM or Jdownloader with the adfree installer instead and look up how to disable the ads in it after.

Way to force people to agree to be able to continue to use your "product".. yeah I've read your explanation as to "why" but that doesn't justify it imo.. just point people to a github and let them install from a file instead, and tell mozilla to go suck it

gönderilme: 3 ay önceHello! We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the new data‑transfer consent prompt. Per Mozilla’s latest guidelines, extensions must now request your explicit permission before passing download information to the FDM application, which is why you’re seeing this screen. We understand extra prompts can be frustrating. Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know how we can make this smoother for you. Geliştiricinin yanıtı
gönderilme: 3 ay önceHello! Could you kindly provide us with more details about the issue you're experiencing using the following form: https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/support.htm- Right know as I'm typing this, the extension and the application work perfect, great new design, useful features, no cpu problems, no capture problems or anything else. I have no idea what some people talk about in the reviews, if you installed it and you have issues with the app or extension, it's most likely from your side, I'm completely okay with it, so if anyone looks for a more humane like review with details and not like bots, here's mine.
also don't just act like bots and write a straight up bad review, they have a great support, don't be lazy and reach to them. - 5 üzerinden 5 puanyazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 18904684, 4 ay önce
