The program does nothing but consume almost 100% RAM and freeze the browser (Firefox) and computer. Do not install

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.Réponse du développeur

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.

Please contact to our support in case of any problems: https://www.ant.com/support_form - par Cristian, il y a 5 moisNoté 1 sur 5This 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?)Réponse du développeur

Increased Native App size is related to the new tools added for checking the streams befor downloading.

If you still encounter the issues after this operations please contact with details to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - par Nightwatch, il y a 5 moisNoté 1 sur 5Recent 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.Réponse du développeur

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.Réponse du développeur

If you still encountering the same issue after this operations please contact with details about your system and browser to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - par Zentula, il y a 5 moisNoté 1 sur 5Someone 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.Réponse du développeur

Thew icon is present, but it does nothing.
I've tried to update it, but that doesn't seem to work.Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 5 moisWe are sorry to hear that you are having problems with the update.
Please contact with details about your problem to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - par Augur, il y a 5 moisNoté 1 sur 5It worked fine until the last update. Now, this thing slows Firefox down to a crawl, eats >95% of my available RAM, and it is impossible to access the menu even after reinstalling it or restarting Firefox, before memory usage blasts through the roof, because the menu won't even show up.
Clearly, as many other users have said, the devs should revert to the previous version and leave it at that, because it was nice, unobtrusive and did the job as asked. We don't need no fancy stuff or whatever, just tell me what videos are on the current tab (limit the displayed list to 5 or 10 items if there's a lot of videos, with a link to open a complete list if needed, which should hardly ever be needed), allow me to select which ones I want to download and where, and that's it.
I'll keep an eye here to see if the devs come back to their senses, but I'm also going to look for other apps doing the same job. If I find a good one, I'm probably not coming back though. Too bad, this extensions had been awesome for many years, but not anymore.Réponse du développeur

Please contact with details about your problem to our support here: https://www.ant.com/support_form - par phoenix, il y a 6 moisNoté 1 sur 5I'm not a techie, so I wasn't able to determine the cause of my recent PC problems and inability to get web pages to download prior to reading about the similar experiences of many others here with the ANT extension. The only thing my internet provider could suggest was a faulty modem since everything else checked out fine, so I unnecessarily spent over $100 to buy one, and endured the worst week of my internet surfing life, bar none. To the developers: you are clearly not following proper program development protocols to safeguard those who put their trust in you. It's time to start.
Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 5 moisSorry to hear that. Hope you didn't buy it from the provider? Because they could easily determine connectivity issues with faulty equipment remotely, not suggest.
If you encounter issues with your web browser, you can do the following:
1) Start Firefox in Safe mode. To do this, hold down the Shift key and click the Firefox icon. Once the window "Open Firefox in Troubleshoot mode?" appears, release the Shift button. This will start the web browser in safe mode, with all extensions disabled. In this mode, you can remove or disable extensions that cause issues.
2) If you use Windows operating system, you already have yet another web browser installed, either IE 11 or Edge. You can temporarily use it to google for troubleshooting or to connect with our support.
We're going to release version 4.13 soon, and if the issue is gone, we shall provide detailed information on it in the release notes. - par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 14189028 de Firefox, il y a 6 moisNoté 1 sur 5
