Every time Ant requests to download native apps data. I don't agree with this system. The video conversion should be managed by Ant and give back a link for download. Otherwise it becomes like a program to install on pc.

Installed it. It then immediately redirected me browser to something one of my adblock filter lists considered a malware risk site.

Used to be good now it will crash firefox.

Do not download!!!

This app crashes firefox, have reverted back to a past version, have now installed latest version, won't detect videos while playing, still crashes firefox, used this for years with no problems, how can this be fixed?

Ant cannot download videos..
just downloads a fake empty file with the same name.. why does this happen? I have the latest native app installed...

don't install!! kill my firefox, need reinstall

Unfortunately, once the best program for downloading videos has slipped into complete shit. The program does nothing but consume almost 100% RAM and freeze the browser (Firefox) and computer. Do not install

Since end 2021, use too much cpu/ram... making Firefox very slow and the app sometime unusable (at best, can download 1 video at same time, during this time, it not responding).

Uninstall/reinstall addon and native app is not better.
Wipe out an reset work, but only for some days.
Must reset every 2-3 days for have not too much problem.
It's like if all videos detected are never deleted of the memory of the addon, and continu to use ressources.

PS: Sorry for bad english level.

like all the other reviews say, this extension USED TO BE the best. But at the end of 2021 they made it useless, now all it does is freeze up firefox and if you don't remove it fast enough it will freeze your entire computer. There are no fixes as of Jan 29, 2022. Uninstalling and reinstalling DOES NOT fix anything, uninstalling and reinstalling the native app will also DO NOTHING TO FIX IT, it will work for a day or two but then it will go right back to freezing everything. Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox will also not fix the issue. It's a real shame that they ruined this extension it worked great for years, but now it's completely worthless.

makes Browser unuseable. its like trying to run Windows 10 at a 386 dx 40

update: need every start about 4-5 minutes to reset the extension that firefox works and that with an amd 3950

блин. тупит не тормозит и ничего лишнего / Просто убожество вешающее мозиллу

This extension used to be one of the best video downloader up until the end of 2021. Moving to the new interface and changing the native app code (the file size is 4 time bigger), it slows down FF so much that it cannot even load the drop down menu to show the detected videos.
I disable this extension for the moment until the developers decide to make it work again.

Update: I did reset (wipe out) the extension and I also contacted the developer with their support form. They answered that the extension is meant for more powerful computers (as if an i7, 8GB RAM is a low end computer?)

Latest update broke it. Latest version of firefox. Tried reinstalling with same result.

Recent updates have broken this extension, yes even the update as of 01-18-2022. The memory leak is still in effect as is the CPU use cycles. The only difference I can see is that the firefox.exe that is hammering the RAM will now close when closing the browser (before you had to kill it in the task manager.) This extension's high resource use is enough that I am considering it potential malware.

Update. After uninstalling and reinstalling the ap, the memory leak seems to be resolved, as is the CPU thrashing. The mod once again seems to be functional, I will increase the rating of this addon if it continues to work as designed for a few more days.

The latest update completely ruined this add-on. It absolutely destroys memory and performance for Firefox.

It makes the entire browser lag even when you're just opening a new tab. I confirmed Ant Video Downloader was the problem and haven't had an issue since disabling it.

Hoping for an update that makes it usable again but for now I don't recommend it.

Someone created a complicated update and ruined the programming, now the extension is essentially a malware.

I had to uninstall the extension two days ago. I studied computer science and did some programming many years ago hence I still recognize a blatant MEMORY LEAK and THRASHING - meaning this extension exponentially consumes excess system RAM until virtual memory is activated essentially hanging your computer that even a proper shutdown is near-impossible. The memory consumption is uncontrollable and very risky for a hard drive. It took me quite sometime to isolate the problem to this extension. Once Firefox is activated the system RAM begins to run wild after about a minute.

The affected firefox process is the one controlling all firefox extentions, hence terminating it stabilizes firefox and the computer but it kills all active extensions. You can activate each extension individually, but the moment you activate this Ant Video Downloader the issue will begin again.

I wonder if software development standards have dropped so bad that a program like this is allowed on a major web browser like firefox, even though I have reported the problem no one seems to care. You guys should deactivate the extension until the issue is fixed, or just totally remove the last update and create a completely new update rather than try to isolate one issue in a bad program.
