- Rated 5 out of 5by Xan, a year agoAbsolutely indispensable! This extension is one of the first things I add to every browser I use. It makes downloading videos a breeze which really comes in handy for offline viewing.
The developer is amazing and lightning fast with updates. - Rated 5 out of 5by Franz, a year ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by FireOX, 3 years agoGreat! But could you add e.g. Firefox integration, so that it can use FF VPN directly?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dziad Borowy, 3 years agoIt's great. It would be even better if the icon was the same as the main app ;-)

- Rated 5 out of 5by RomHeu, 4 years agoI've tried Video DownloadHelper as a YouTube-DL alternative to download a paid video I had rented on Vimeo. The extension offers to downloaded the 1920 x 1080 pixels DASH stream, and downloads it fast, but then it launches a transcoding (called an aggregation), even though I've disabled "Force H264 tuning in aggregation", which would have taken hours. It turns out the free version adds a watermark, which requires post-processing and transcoding. My understanding is that you have to pay €18.50 for a premium license to get fast downloads without transcoding.
So I have turned to Downie 4 by Permute's developer Charlie Monroe, which is also paid at €18.99, but has the advantage of being up front about it. Alternatively it is included in the Setapp subscription service. It has a cleaner interface and it works with Chrome and Firefox as well as Safari and Opera.
