- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16035291, 5 years agoUsed to be great. Just wasted $28.50 to remove watermark and nothing works.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Francois, 5 years agoUsed it before, now you must install several things to get the job done. Now I use https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/youtube-download-hd-download/ much simpler and better !
- Rated 1 out of 5by Devata, 5 years agoНе хочет работать без установки дополнительной программы с расширением EXE. Такого нам не надо.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15995323, 5 years agoasked me to download an exe file from an extra website. no thanks.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14086405, 5 years agoI've just tried out this addon and so dissappointed to find a QR code watermark throughout the whole video. Why bother with this when other addons deliver a clean video file.
- Rated 1 out of 5by StR, 5 years agoThis add-on has two big problems:
1. It is slow (It takes several times longer to download the same YouTube video compared to the video downloader built in Slimjet)
and
2. It is only after you've installed the additional program, and you've waited until your video is downloader and converted that you are being told that the video has a QR-code over a large portion of the screen. So, it feels like bait-and-switch.
Why couldn't they be upfront about that?
And why the description fails to tell you that an additional package is needed for conversion (and essentially for download, as it keeps telling you that you need that package if it is not installed).
Additional problems:
3. The UI is quirky and not very clear about what is going to happen, where you can find your videos, etc.
4. Even though you choose the final destination for the video, this add-on download files to your "Downloads" folder (Win-10 here) first. And this is a problem: The first time it happened, the download (of a 2-hr-long video) stopped because this extension used up all the space available on the system disk. This also created a problem for something else that was being done at the same time. I see no easy way to change the folder for the temporary files for this extension.
5. You need to install an additional software package.
6. You cannot pause and resume the download
7. The time estimate doesn't get updated often enough, so that you think the download is stalled. I believe the estimate is also not very correct, but it is hard to tell, when you look at it for probably a minute, or at least half a minute without seeing any change...
What is nice is that you have a bunch of options (formats and resolutions), even though sometimes they are a bit too cryptic: e.g. without the additional software package installed, I see two "mp4" options, and the extension doesn't tell me the difference between them (do they have different resolutions? ...) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16021464, 5 years agoAntes te dejaba descargar de todo. Ahora pide instalar un programa extra para descargar.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15187390, 5 years agoRequires you to install a program to your computer to work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16016870, 5 years agothis addon SUCKS it puts a huge watermark at the top of any video it downloads, unless you pay for it. plus it takes about an hour to download a simple video a few minutes long.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14472692, 5 years agoDoes literally nothing. The Chrome version tells you to go and use the firefox version, the Firefox version tells you to install an external app. This app used to work.

- Rated 1 out of 5by liquidhot, 5 years agoDownloader will offer to download as ADP and then watermark it asking for a license to their video content. Trying to download MP4 directly from YouTube malfunctions and produces an empty file weather you use the companion app or not.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14438812, 5 years agoThis use to be awesome. You could download all media, now it is lame, broken and insists for ease of use to install extra stuff that are exe files. There is better out there.
- Rated 1 out of 5by maware, 5 years agoСовершенно бесполезное дополнение. Закачиваются части видео. Потом 2.5 часа длится сборка. И на итоговое видео накладывается огромный водяной знак, перекрывающий большую часть кадра. В результате видео полностью непригодное. Это не тянет даже на демо версию. Дополнение - лохотрон. Удалил эту бесполезную поделку.
- Rated 1 out of 5by LudwigLustig, 5 years agoSchlicht Müll! Zusatz Tool muss installiert werden. Downloads dauern ewig und meist kommt nichts an. Vergeudete Zeit!

- Rated 1 out of 5by HLX, 5 years agothis add on did not work. its overly complicated with 50 different options, but still does nothing. would give 0 stars if i could.
- Rated 1 out of 5by LustStarrr, 5 years agoI installed this extension because I wanted to download several embedded Vimeo videos, but the extension was unable to locate them, despite me installing another piece of software it suggested would help it work properly.
