by StefanMacz, duela 2 hilabeteit's ok for some things but can be pretty flaky.
Often it requires the companion application... which is not such a big deal, but even then it can still be distinctly unreliable.
I have a Video Downloader app on my android phone which does a far better job, is much more dependable, saves in sensible formats, offers a better choice of download resolution options, in a much easier to follow way.
The android app also does simultaneous multi-downloads of the same files so you can download a big file in five minutes on the phone what take this addon twenty minutes to do.
By comparision if that android app got a 10/10 rating - which by my book, it does, this barely gets a 3/10.
I regularly have to just give up in disgust at this add-on's inability to save files and switch over to my phone.
Also I've downloaded files using this addon to discover they are in a ridiculous webm format - absolutely not useful to me at all, whereas the android app saves using the much more standard MP4 container.
The app developer really needs to take a long hard look at the alternatives and up their game if they wish for this addon to stay relevant.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Marco, duela 3 egunEra il miglior programma per scaricare, ora è il peggiore.Se non paghi il video scaricato avrà una filigrana e la cosa bella è che quando hai finito di scaricare ti appare un messaggio con scritto: "Se NOTERAI il video avrà una filigrana ...". Caspita, certo che ho NOTATO! la filigrana occupa un quarto dello schermo!! programma divenuto inguardabile e inutile, disinstallato.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13495615, duela 3 egunАбсолютно хаотичный интерфейс: автоматом добавляет кучу всяких ссылок — не понятно, это уже закачивается или нет; наводишь на элемент управления, он тут же на что-то другое заменяется — из-за этого контролировать процесс загрузки невозможно; нажал скачать — полчаса прошло, загрузилось лишь 1 минута файла. Короче бред полный, а не скачивалка. Ах да, ещё требует установить какое-то внешнее приложение (на ваш страх и риск, естественно). В топку.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Elf Mathews, duela 3 egunKeeps asking me to download a "Companion App" in order to download videos, and absolutely NOTHING about this is written in the extension description.
It leads you to their own website so you can download and install their app, which gives them access to you files and could be very dangerous. The purpose of extensions is exactly to contain their effects within the browser only, which is safer.
Feels extremely suspicious, and the fact that this is "recommended" sincerely strengthens my recent thoughts of abandoning Firefox altogether.
