This has never worked well in my experience. It always takes over downloads, that it does okay but if I don't want it to capture a download such as viewing a pdf in my browser the icon when clicked to toggle the download interception to off makes zero difference and it still captures the download. There is a key which is supposed to stop it but I cannot see that anywhere, it might be the [DEL] key. It would be okay if it was possible to disable the download interception but that doesn't work on my browsers either Waterfox G5, Waterfox G6 or LibreWolf. It's just a damn nuisance not being able to stop it grabbing the downloads when I don't want it to.

after update of IDM extension to 6.42.11, download button doesnt appear on youtube - please create new update for extension !

good

I don't know why IDM extension seems to work great in Edge Chromium, but fails to do so in Firefox. For example some sites just don't work when in Firefox, but they are fine in Edge. It says something about "encrypting" in Firefox... Encrypted sites showing in Firefox but not in Edge?? No way! What the heck is this? Please don't get me wrong. I love Firefox much more than I do both Edge and Chrome, That's why I am somewaht dissapointed about IDM malfunctioning in Firefox..

Firefox crushes when I right-click on the pop-up window “下载该视频”

IDM is really worth it but with the latest update, it just sucks all the cpu usage and freezes the browser. Makes it just impossible to work without disabling it

Ver 6.41.7 Feb-2023 update is bad, sucks all CPU utilization with Explorer process as well.

Resolved by downgrade to Version 6.41.1 (from May 26, 2022).

Will Tonec please explain what has changed in this faulty 6.41.7 update? I never expect a extension to cause a system-wide problem, hogging CPU when it should be idle, is it doing anything behind our backs? Please explain.

Why update when the previous 6.41.1 is working perfectly.

whenever this addon is switched ON in my firefox it uses a loooooot of CPU and my computer fans goes very hot.
I have to switch it off every time after use. it is annoying. it wasn't like this in the past.

Good IF you can get it to download tried several times and it just will not grab the link to a download and download anything SUPER headache

For some reason the option of "hold this key and the file will not be downloaded with IDM" does not work, all the files are downloaded with the program and not the browser.
