posted a year agoThis highly misleading. Yes, DTA has that "Access your data for all websites" permission. It is required to make the "DownThemAll! All Tabs" feature work. Without it, DTA would only able to work on the presently active tab.
I'd rather have a more fine-grained permission, but that isn't offered by the browsers.
Anyway, the privacy policy clearly states that DTA does not collect any data, it does in fact not collect any data, and the add-on is open source so you can check that for yourself, the code inside the shipped package is not minified so you can check it as well.
Furthermore each version is reviewed by mozilla, and actually reviewed thoroughly as a requirement for getting the recommended badge. "Stealing" user data would be against mozilla policy and they wouldn't approve such an add-on. Not that I ever would do such a thing, and I've been doing DTA since 2006 so I have a little bit of a track record of NOT stealing user data.
So, use the add-on or don't. But please do not insinuate falsehoods.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 2 days agoAbsolutely essential extension. Batch downloading is a huge time saver. I miss the option to remove duplicate links, which was available on the extinct XUL version. The option to view/edit the entries is also missing, so a broken link cannot be reviewed nor fixed.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17858937, 3 months agoDoesn't start let alone download anything. Without something starting or an icon appearing with my other browser addons it's unusable.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Krackenn, 3 months agoDestination folder option is missing. Without it it is impossible to organize. I remember I had it before, but now I see that they removed it.
That's why she left them 1 star. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18280538, 3 months ago
