Yeah it's worse after the last update. Both slower downloads and overall worse interface. I will never understand why people update stuff to make it worse. I mean it's still the best downloader out there. It just became worse.

Good program, but the newest version made the experience worse for existing users. Settings were reset, an additional download is now required, the naming convention changed, the download folder changed to Firefox's default with no way to change it, and animated media previews are enabled by default & sometimes still show up when they're turned off. There's also a small number of sites this extension doesn't work with, where other video downloaders do seem to work.

Make it back the way it was before. You could save directly and specify a file name. Now, if you download three files, you first have to check what you've actually downloaded. It's completely ridiculous.
Stop making it worse. It was fine the way it was. Full stop!

The new download preview feature has made it easier to identify tasks.

This next section contains our requests.
We request that the download quality settings can be fixed/set as a default on the selection screen during download, as was possible in the previous version.
Additionally, we would like to still be able to specify a custom/dedicated download directory, just like in the previous version.

If multiple download files share the same name, we request that consecutive numbering (e.g., "xxx-1.mp4") be appended to the file name, following the order in which the download entries were made, just like in the previous version.If sequential numbering is not possible, we request that the download process strictly follow the order in which the tasks were registered.When file naming is dependent on the browser, the order can become irregular (unpredictable) when multiple download entries are made simultaneously.

The upgrade has made it less functional.　Unfortunately, while it was previously possible to assign the window title to the file name, it seems that the file name is now being retrieved from a different location than before, and the file name is not being set correctly. Please fix this.

Video Download Helper was the number 1 extension for downloads but the December automatic update killed the app. I had to download to version 9.5.0.2 and turn off automatic updates. Downloads now work again. Fix the problem with version 10.0.271.2 and I will give you 5 stars again.

V10 removes %pathname from smart naming makes one click saving a multistep operation(not sure if CSS selectors can replace, beyond my current knowledge), not sure why it was removed, you would think basic path names would still be useful.

Back on 9.5 until it's fixed, I find an alternate extension or workout CSS selectors for pathname. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had to go in and redo a lot of my preferences after the most recent update. Apparently I'm not the only one annoyed by it. Thankfully I was able to get the new add-on to work as it did. But that I had to take time to do so, with a completely new layout, after a single update is extremely frustrating.

Works reasonably well but often has trouble with youtube videos.

It works, but it has become more privacy invasive over time. Requires downloading a lot of random plug-ins.

Can you update it to the last version?? currently 10.0.271.2

Very good extension. Except on Windows, there is a QR code watermark and it asks me to get a 'conversion license'. That wasn't here before, and on LINUX, the QR code doesn't show up. I have high hopes for this extension since it works a ton, but putting a QR code watermark for Windows users is scummy.

This addon has never been really good, but unfortunately it is indispensable due to the lack of alternatives. With the last update it has become much worse. A proper download in Firefox is no longer possible. The developers are desperate to sell their own addon.
Alternatively, you can just copy the link and open it in the Free Download Manager. This is not comfortable.

Do not pay the $30.00 for "Lifetime Use"! Been there, did that. If your computer goes down, "Lifetime Use" meets with an early death and cannot rise up like Lazarus without throwing ANOTHER $30 to Video Download Helper.
This time, lifetime was only three weeks.
That said, the add on is really good. But, lifetime should mean lifetime.

Now its watermarked. BS.

I like the extension, but when the connection times out, the extension stutters and gets into an idiot loop and browser has to be restarted. Also, it would be nice to easily rename files as well as see what filename the video is being downloaded as.

Гарний був застосунок, але перестав працювати в оновленні Firefox 143.0.1 для Ubuntu

割合不安定です

When it works it works well. Sadly it quit working on youtube yet again which is where it used most. Every time this has happened in the past, it has been fixed but this time it has been down awhile and don't know if it will be back or not.

YouTubeの仕様なんでしょうが、DLできる時とできない時があり、どちらかと言うとできない時のほうが多いです。その他のサイトでは問題なくDLできていますので良いのですが、自分の目的であるYouTubeでDLに難があるので星3つです。

used to work,not anymore!is yt at work again?blocking apps?yt is getting worse and worse!

Addon works great but only if you also add the program it asks you to that allows you to properly grab videos from places. Its not hard to do but it works fine afterwards. But the fact you have to grab an additional piece of software to make it work properly on top of installing the add on takes away a few points on it.

付费的下载器，不如IDM，价格比IDM还贵，殊不知IDM在Github有激活脚本...而且，yt-dlp也是免费的，它在GitHub还有开源的GUI，所以我不知道这个下载器的优势在哪里。
