Rated 4 out of 5
by Dalton, 2 years agoWorks great most of the time. However the new requirement for a companion app is a bummer, though from what I gather, this is not the fault of the developer as I used this back before it required a companion app.
My one complaint to the developer is a minor one, I have multiple disks in my system, some SSDs some old style hard drives (spinning disks)... I would prefer if all intermediate files during download were stored in the same destination folder (or at least in a temporary folder on the same disk or volume as the destination folder) instead of the system temporary folder. Minor complaint though and the extension works great under Firefox, works better under Firefox than on Chrome... especially on certain video streaming sites where the Firefox version works but no Chrome video downloaders I have used seem to work.
The Firefox version (this version) works the best out of all video downloader extensions I have tried so far... a close second to YoutubeDL back when it was available in my region and only because YoutubeDL could be set up to run on a small, light machine all night and throttled down to save bandwidth while my laptop (where this runs) can be used normally. Still, for a browser extension to quickly save a video I want to access when I go offline or in between WiFi locations, this is the best I have used so far.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ice, 3 hours agoVideos have a huge qr code watermark. It costs $30.50 to remove it. Other websites can do it free.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19555051, 4 hours agoAll is great! except if you go to save a file and then move out of that window to look at something else, the download moves into the downloads and shows as taking place (when it's not actively downloading) and no way to delete it except a restart of the plugin.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gabriel, 2 days agoAh yes, a free tool now slapping a giant QR-Code onto your video. It's not like there's hundreds of alternatives that do the exact same thing this simple add-on does.

- Rated 5 out of 5by MaschineFaustus, 3 days agoIch bin mit dem Video DownloadHelper vollstens zufrieden und hatte bisher noch nie Probleme damit. Danke dafür, dass es soetwas gibt. Schnell und sehr zuverlässig.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Levy F, 3 days agoRealmente muy buena esta extensión, sin propagandas innecesarias o invasivas, ni ventanas emergentes ni nada de eso. A veces una dificultad es que la misma página tiene múltiples videos que aparecen con la misma imagen inicial, y es difícil saber cuál es la que realmente estás buscando, pero he descubierto que bajándolas todas, luego en la carpeta donde las hayas descargado es fácil revisarlas y eliminar las que no correspondan. Muy agradecido.
