- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18415064, 2 years agoDas war's dann wohl. Scheint Probleme beim Download von Streams zu haben. Solch ein Video besteht nur noch aus groben Quadraten
- Rated 1 out of 5by Art., 2 years agoNow its useless. From new version all downloads have huge QR code over video. Uninstalled.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mohanad, 2 years agoAll your downloads will have a huge QR code, plus you need to install an additional app to download. Not recommended at all.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18409030, 2 years agoCan't download anything without "Companion App" 100% garbage
- Rated 1 out of 5by Viatical, 2 years agoRecently added an update that puts a completely non translucent qr code to the entire bottom quarter of any video saved. Used to recommend this to anyone and now it's an instant delete.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13115210, 2 years agoHORRIBLE. Every file has the same name, they do NOT download to the specified folder and I can't find them anywhere.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16332016, 2 years agoThis video downloader was among the best with flawless downloading for non-streaming videos. But at least a week ago, every download attempt has been blocked into a "queued" status of nothing downloaded. Not sure if I'm throttled by this app when other apps allow downloading of the same videos.
Further, it is clunky for the local installation of the companion app to download streaming videos when other video downloading apps can download those streaming videos without any local installation.
Guess I will have to switch over to alternatives permanently.
P.S. Now I've been reading of the latest update that adds a QR code onto the downloaded video unless it's a paid version. No, ma'am. Found a very good alternative that I can download HLS streaming videos without any additional installation of app to my computer's local hard drive. Best of all, the downloading of the streaming videos doesn't take half the time that this extension's companion app that took forever (at least 25 minutes if not longer for a mere 40-minute video).
Sometimes, change is good to force one to find something else. Whatever Video Downloader did shoved me in the right direction. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17688560, 2 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gaba Joe, 2 years agoNeeds a companion app and then includes a paywalled watermark. Useless
- Rated 1 out of 5by mc42, 2 years agoI will not use nor trust any downloader that requires a companion app.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Marco, 2 years agoEra il miglior programma per scaricare, ora è il peggiore.Se non paghi il video scaricato avrà una filigrana e la cosa bella è che quando hai finito di scaricare ti appare un messaggio con scritto: "Se NOTERAI il video avrà una filigrana ...". Caspita, certo che ho NOTATO! la filigrana occupa un quarto dello schermo!! programma divenuto inguardabile e inutile, disinstallato.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13495615, 2 years agoАбсолютно хаотичный интерфейс: автоматом добавляет кучу всяких ссылок — не понятно, это уже закачивается или нет; наводишь на элемент управления, он тут же на что-то другое заменяется — из-за этого контролировать процесс загрузки невозможно; нажал скачать — полчаса прошло, загрузилось лишь 1 минута файла. Короче бред полный, а не скачивалка. Ах да, ещё требует установить какое-то внешнее приложение (на ваш страх и риск, естественно). В топку.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Elf Mathews, 2 years agoKeeps asking me to download a "Companion App" in order to download videos, and absolutely NOTHING about this is written in the extension description.
It leads you to their own website so you can download and install their app, which gives them access to you files and could be very dangerous. The purpose of extensions is exactly to contain their effects within the browser only, which is safer.
Feels extremely suspicious, and the fact that this is "recommended" sincerely strengthens my recent thoughts of abandoning Firefox altogether. - Rated 1 out of 5by Niclas Eriksson, 2 years agoVery hard to see the video, hidden behind the huge waterstamp! Also the needed extra software, does not have a visible uninstaller - one has to search for that...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Sergey, 2 years agoОбман. Не советую. Ставят свою защиту в виде QR кода на экран. Чтобы убрать - платите. В описании сразу не сказано что это дополнение платное.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Back, 2 years agoDO NOT USE. Makes you install software onto your PC itself without telling you it's gonna slap a massive screw-off QR code onto the video unless you give them 28 dollars. I have no idea how this got Firefox's seal of approval
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18395337, 2 years agoРаньше было отличным дополнением. Я даже поддержал производителя денюжкой. Но потом стало необходимым скачивать их приложение отдельно на ПК, так еще и лепят QR код на половину видео. О сильно разочарован.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tech_Mr, 2 years agoDon't bother installing this app. It adds a large QR Code obscuring part of the saved video, unless you pay them $28.50 for the premium version. It also makes you install software onto your computer (twice) before it works. There's plenty of other totally free extensions and software out there that will save your video for free without adding a QR Code. Maybe if the price was closer to $5 then I would consider paying. $28 is ridiculous.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Laura, 2 years agoThe extension no longer works, it does not fulfill its purpose of allowing you to download videos
