It was good... until their last update as of 1/20/2024 when prompted I am being forced to download an external .exe in order to "work". Which I find very suspicious. How do I know I am not downloading a keylogger? How do I know I am not giving them access to my PC's private data? I won't. But because they were good for a few years, they got good ratings enough now to trick new users to make it seem ok and fine doing this. No worries dev... I reported this.

And it looks like I am not the only one... and the stupid dev, I'm assuming desperate for cash and looking for quick cash, risking the death of the plugin, the dev even throwing in botted reviews to combat the 1 star reviews!

Très utile et facile a utiliser

Rarely used but found out today it puts a giant watermark on the video :c and they want $30 dollars and dont support paypal....what a sad joke.

Very easy to use. It detects videos in most video websites (sadly not all), including YouTube and Vimeo, and also video embeddings. It downloads videos in the background, so you can close the tab and not have to wait (although you gotta keep the Firefox app open at least). At the beggining I got confused where it was downloading stuff, but it's in C:/Users/MyUser/dwhelper . I've used it now for a few years.

very good!

To other reviewers: this add-on has always required a companion app.
However, now they are forcing you to pay almost $30 for a license to convert the videos without a giant watermark on them. For me, this defeats the purpose of downloading videos. So, I will be uninstalling and finding an alternate. It would help if we knew more about who was maintaining this extension so we could have some sympathy for the developers. It was great while it lasted!

Requires a separate .exe to even run. I'm already suspicious about running extensions, but really, a side app as well?

When I try to save a file to the root of the drive after updating to a new version, I get the following error

EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'D:'

Please fix it as soon as possible.
