- Rated 2 out of 5by Duriel7, 4 days agoExcellent module, fast and convenient, easy to use and works on many many video players. Repost because : December 2025 update is aweful as of now, let's wait and see if functionalities come back.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17778683, 15 days agoI'm, unfortunately, downgrading my rating of this extension...and I have a premium license (Pay once, use forever). Used to be great, easy to use, and worked on most sites I visited.
Then issues like the watermark and conversion tool controversy, etc.. And now, for me, it is downloading from fewer and fewer sites, often only giving me a partial download, or even an error.
I have removed and reinstalled several times, but it hasn't improved to its original functionality.
Disappointing for a product I loved and reccomended to many others. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19574196, a month agoРаньше всё скачивал, сейчас с половины сайтов не качает. Лучше Vee Vee юзать.

- Rated 2 out of 5by PublicScrutiny, 2 months agoWorks alright on windows, but runs like absolute buns on Linux. Downloads move at a snails pace yet I have StarLink. Makes absolutely no sense at all!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Parker, 2 months agoTried to download audio from Chrome with this extension but it says "Please use the Firefox version". So then I download the Firefox version and it says "Please install the external program". So I download and install the external program but then it says "Please pay $30 for a license to download audio". WTH!?
They made me jump through all these loops just to sell me a license at the very end!
Chrome version works fine for downloading videos so I'll give it an extra star. - Rated 2 out of 5by Andrés Oso, 2 months agoThey added that QR code that ruins the experience when converting the video. They should have always made the extension paid, not free, and then added the QR code. I removed the extension after 10 years. / Pusieron ese codigo QR que daña la experiencia al convertir el video, hubieran puesto la extensión siempre de pago y no gratis para despues colocar el código QR. Elimine la extensión despues de 10 años
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17631092, 3 months agoUsed to be very helpful. Now it covers most of the video with a QR code. No longer usable.
- Rated 2 out of 5by eggyou!, 4 months agoRequires payment to remove watermark, as well as converting to audio.
- Rated 2 out of 5by hetchel, 4 months agoI have no problem with wanting a license to avoid watermarks on some downloads (mainly Youtube AFAIK), but warning only AFTER the download is shady and stupid (is a lose-lose situation, nobody will buy after such a shady trick, and because buying the license will not remove the watermark, you have to download again)
- Rated 2 out of 5by gospodinBezkrai, 4 months agoYears ago used to work great. Since then began asking to install a software on your computer, to register and pay, or something else. Now the latest - supposedly downloads it but not as a file. Clicking "play" or "open folder" does nothing. I realised I always end up looking for other ways to save the video I need. :(

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12975563, 4 months agoTo say that it works well is very relative since 70% of the time it displays this message “We cannot download this file” so for 18€50 it's expensive to have an AddOn that doesn't do what I ask it to and it's been going on for a long time.
Dire qu'il marche bien est très relatif vu que 70% du temps il m'affiche ce message "Nous ne pouvons pas télécharger ce fichier" donc pour 18€50 ça fait cher l'AddOn qui ne fait pas ce que je lui demande et ça dure depuis longtemps - Rated 2 out of 5by Rz, 4 months agoAs far as browser-extensions go, it has been one of the better ones BUT - lately downloads have been failing semi-regularly where it only downloads 5% of the video! I feel like these downloader extensions always start out great and then the quality starts to go down and they stop working.
