New version interface is awful and your now forced to use it.

Became a complete GARBAGE after it they made it a paid add-on...
There are a lot of better paid options...

As of the latest version, this add-on is practically useless. Various features have been removed, presumably to be re-added as paid options. I can't speak for any paid features, but the base version is now terrible, frustrating to use, and constantly failing.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BUY THIS RUBBISH!!!It used to be excellent but the last update was a disaster. Now nothing works. The paid licence is removed and all attempts to reload it fail. Customer support is NIL! DON'T THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY ON THIS RUBBISH!

Used to work fine.. I co-app not downloading or installing correctly through commandline. Video downloads always stop at 311MB... I paid for the premium version about a year ago so at least I got some use out of it.. no bueno though. probably still a better idea to use OBS or yt-dlp

used to be great, totally bricked now as they force a giant QR code on every video to force you to pay. time to get another extension

i understand they want to put in a QR code to get people to go premium, but imposing a big ass one on the video is just low and just shows the level of greed from these DEVs, they need to remember they arent the only ones that provide addons like this

removed and bye

I used this addon from beginning on to download thousands of videos. Until v10 update made is useless.
Update from v9.5 to v10 broke/removed nearly everything I liked about this BEST add-on ever:
- legacy mode removed
- no more posssible to preselect download location BEFORE dowloading and then just let it download, like it was last possible in v9.5
- videos too often not recognized

I have rolled back to the the last update before this and have disabled updates (rollback was sadly only possible on firefox, but not on chrome/edge). And with v9.5 videos continue being recognized, download location can be preseselected BEFORE download, interface is again clean in legacy mode.
I think that developer is not using it himslef and can not recognize how critical it is to select location and name of file BEFORE !!!! starting to download. If you let download like 10 videos parallelly , it is mission critical that you can do it.
It is WRONG if you have downloded video into memory and only then the extension asks you where to save it. I want to program download job and leave PC alone to finish it. and not return back and try to remember what I wanted to save where.
I will never understand why developer decided to make a PERFECT addon worse by removing core functions.

Garbage

used to work great but doesn't work after update

Latest update broke nearly everything I liked about this used-to-be-fantastic add-on. It did not need this redesign. What once was a joy is now naught but frustration.

no funciona y no explican por que

Newest version is broken. Nothing is downloading and saving. Errors constantly.

Unusable since update 10.xx

sorry dev I really love this extension but I just had to say this.. the new one sucks BIG time!

(copied from Firefox user 16990717: I feel exactly the same) The new version feels like a slap in the face. In exchange for a slightly more modern user interface you have severely limited the functionality of the extension and have essentially taken away the ability for the user to configure the extension to their liking. I Have rolled back to the the last update before this and have disabled updates. Im not sure if this downgrade and reduced funtionality was done due to pressure from Google, or new management, or greed but it is very disappointing. I will begin looking into alternatives to this extension that has served me well for over 5 years. Please reconsider this new direction, this feels insulting.

WAS a great add-on, but last update has made it unusable. Now looking for a replacement.

les développeurs ont récement décidé d'ajouter sur tout les téléchargement un immense QR code qui couvre 1/4 de la vidéo. L'extension est inutilisable en l'état.

Antes era una de las mejores, ahora hay que esperar dos horas para descargar otro vídeo si no pagas. A veces no funciona. (Mejor alternativa: ytdlp.online)
