- Rated 1 out of 5by aswani09, a month agoThere is now a forced giant watermark on videos now. No free option. Uninstalled
- Rated 1 out of 5by thanatos355, a month agoThirty fucking dollars to remove the GIANT watermark "in the corner"? You mother fuckers are higher than giraffe pussy! GFY
- Rated 1 out of 5by FoxEnjoyer, a month agoKeeps bothering you to install the "helper" application for basic functionality. Puts arbitrary limits on how many videos you can download within a certain period, this limit can be bypassed by uninstalling the extension, then reinstalling.
I have no problem with paying for open source software, but the fact that payment is required for some functionality should be made clear on the extension's page, and before the user spends potentially hours waiting on a video to download, only to find out this extension superimposed a massive QR code over the downloaded video. - Rated 1 out of 5by test, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Valag_Evermore, a month agoOnly works if you download the extension. Now it hits me with a popup in Russian every time I go to YouTube. Time to uninstall and find a new one.

- Rated 1 out of 5by mruncreated, a month agoAfter YouTube's hissy fit with adblock, and their continuous efforts to fight it, somehow that's affected this addon's ability to even detect videos. It no longer works, and obviously there has been no effort on the author's part to fix it.
Edit: Yeah, this addon is a scam, just like "Easy YouTube Video Downloader Express." - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18664650, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Axolotl, a month agoImplies it's free. It's not, it's about 28 bucks.
Implies it's only an addon. It's not, it only works if you also download and install their extra software no doubt full of tracking to bypass Firefox data protection.
Implies that only certain 'converted' videos have a massive distruptive watermark. All videos in fact have a massive distruptive watermark that make the addons function pointless unless you pay. Very deceptive practices. Reported. - Rated 1 out of 5by knees, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mr. G, a month agoEs lo peor que he instalado!! Se camufla como extensión gratuita. Luego, pide que se descargue he instale otra aplicación para poder descargar algún video. Luego, de instalar la segunda aplicación, descarga el video con un enorme código QR en la esquina inferior del video. Debería de poner una descripción completa, no una descripción dudosa e incompleta. Debería Mozilla de vetarlos para que realmente publiquen la verdad de lo que hace.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Samir, a month agoРаньше мог нормально перехватывать видео.
Сейчас с новым интерфейсом ничего не могу сделать.
Удаляю. - Rated 1 out of 5by malau, a month agoUsed to be free. Now it costs $28.50, else you get a MASSIVE QR code in the corner.
I see no point in keeping this bloated resource hungry extension installed. It is worthless trash now. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18488594, a month agoGiant QR code on video unless you pay $28.50 does not work for me.

- Rated 1 out of 5by coderkoala, a month ago***JUST USE FETCHV*** Context: It makes you jump through hoops, but then asks you money, and plasters a big effin' QR code across the video, rendering your efforts useless. Class act on what not to do in initial impression.
Or, donate, ya guys, so they can remove the QR code watermark that's just insulting - at best. They prolly hired someone that made the decision - OR on one drunk night one of the contributors in the team had this "brilliant" idea.
Uninstalled it myself, because I was a day 1 addon user. I'll look for a "competing product" that offers more for without being a thunder-karen instead of a nag-master - that's a labor of love, than a downhill-deer.
You guys are brilliant devs, but very saddened by the approach you took. Do it the winrar way - nag, but don't obstruct. Because it pisses off your potential leads from the get-go. Esp considering most folks that were there with you since day 1 are starting to move on.
Coming here from Reddit btw. You guys are making a case-study on what not to do. Thanks for the lesson for a lifetime.
