- Rated 1 out of 5by Semiazas, 2 days agoBait and switch. Offers downloads but any video downloaded is transparently converted, significantly lowering the bitrate while also watermarking the stream with a QR code. This code linking a site where visitors are prompted to purchase a license for the 'converter' to remove the watermark. A mark that wouldn't exist if the 'downloader' just downloaded the source without superfluous conversion. It's deceptive, invisibly inserting itself into the media in an effort to trick the gullible into believing they need a license that would, if the media wasn't converted in the first place, be unnecessary. Not to mention it appears they've got some sort of bot service periodically five-star reviewing the extension presumably to bury negative reviews.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17927435, 3 days agoYou have to pay for an open source converter, or it will encode a large Qr code into the result with poor quality. So here you need an extra program just to be able to collect for this program. This is not what you expect, you want to download the stream without manipulating the stream.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Zyler Zyzyx, 4 days agoThis app worked perfectly for ONE month. Then never worked again. It is worthless and I suggest not wasting time with it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by VaniNY, 6 days agoThis add-on is useless and confusing. When I tried to use it, it asked me to submit a URL address. It opened a new tab and gave me the following message "You have to setup a suitable URL for your favorite downloader service. You can use the variable {url} to forward the currently viewed video URL to the downloader service." I don't understand this message and can't understand how this could be a reasonable way of setting up a download service. Nor do I have an URL address to submit to them. What does this mean? There is no explanation, nor supporting page or introduction. I've decided to delete the add-on even though FF recommended it. I'm assuming they made a mistake.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17920302, 9 days agoBullshit extension, most of the time it fails or only downloads part of the vid.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Marty McFly, 9 days agoFügt seit neuestem unangekündigt einen QR-Code in Videos ein, den man ausschließlich über den Erwerb einer teuren Lizenz zum Konvertieren verhindern kann. Das war's, tschüß!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15196385, 10 days agoWithout installing an external tool called a companion app, this add-on by itself cannot do anything.

- Rated 1 out of 5by JackTheWap, 12 days agoCauses a lot of lag on Youtube streams and embeds. Fails to pick up audios on some videos. Not really needed if you know how to download without it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wilf, 13 days agoAfter the last couple of Firefox updates (using Linux Mint) the apps started to download, only to find that there can be only a couple of minutes actually downloaded.
Tried to use this app on LibreWolf (tired of Firefox changing my settings for IPv6) but claims the video extension isn’t installed.
Used to be perfect, doesn't work on Librewolf so for me it's now useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by spaljeni, 13 days agoFuck your extension. It sucks. In 50% of cases it doesn't download the whole video. And what is this ADP bullshit and convert for YouTube videos. I can literly use a YouTube downloader website and it downloas an .mp4 video in in its entirety with sound and video with no watermark. So yeah, fuck You and your extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15913525, 15 days agoInserta un QR en los videos descargados. Si se lee la descripción de la extensión, no dice en ningún lugar que vaya a hacerlo o que los videos tendrán ese QR sobreimpreso.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17910562, 17 days agoDoesn't work. Will not allow me to download helper to mac. Worked on one in 10 videos tried on PC.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16817478, 19 days agoYou to pay to get rid of watermarks on YT videos, and it's ridiculously expensive. Edit: use "dirpy", worked for me but it's a site not a addon.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Quinnie, 21 days agoAddon never works, it does not download any videos (on any website that has video embedded). All it provides are tiny "video" files, none of which are the actual video! I have used many addons over the years, this is definitely a faulty one.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Samlayn, 22 days agoDer letzte Rotz, die Daten werden irgendwohin gespeichert, in Einstellungen nix zu finden, man sucht und sucht. Scheiß Programm!
Warum gibts da keinen Hinweis und Einstellung? Das ist ein MUST Have, kein COULD Have! Unbrauchbar und Zeitverschwendung - Rated 1 out of 5by E3D3, 22 days agoVery misleading addon that doesn't tell anything (not on the addon webpage or in the youtube video) about requiring installing a standalone program of unknown origin.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16900257, 24 days agorequires installing a standalone app of unknown origin. should work directly from browser
