- Rated 1 out of 5by Julian, 2 years agoThis add-on was great until they changed it to insert a giant QR code watermark into every video downloaded. Scummy move, if this is supposed to make me want to pay to remove the watermark, you're mistaken. Uninstalled, I'll find another extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Grin, 2 years agoIt's disgusting! Mozilla, how can you still support and recommend this!? I am disappointed.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Programa Lixo, 2 years agoPrograma LIXO! Te força a pagar a versão premium. E você vê que NÃO PRESTA quando vê que quem pagou está tendo problemas. Pior é o Firefox apoiar essa m3rd4.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18491432, 2 years agoMaybe it works, but as soon I click any kind of download, audio or the video as it is, it tells me I need to download an external application. Nowhere in this page tells that. What I see in the page of this add on makes me expect it to do the thing on its own. Maybe it's a good combination of extension and application, but having to find out I need that after downloading feels wrong to me.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Samuel, 2 years agoWithout warning, it became a paid service. It has a giant watermark and a very expensive license. Additionally, downloads were slow. It was already good. Now, it's terrible. Uninstalling...
- Rated 1 out of 5by TallestGargoyle, 2 years agoAddon requires a 'co-app' download, and only then demands a rather expensive license to remove a watermark from the downloaded video. Absolutely useless addon, plenty of free websites that will work without the hoop-jumping.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Joey, 2 years agoIt's 2024 and you cant download a video off the internet without a watermark? No. I refuse to believe this.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18489197, 2 years agoWithout warning, this became a paid service, useless garbage.
- Rated 1 out of 5by User, 2 years agoDon't install it from here. Find version 8.2.2.8 and install that if you want perfect videos without a QR code. Their "github community" is a lie too. There's no source code or anything whatsoever.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Miles, 2 years agoStarted leaving a giant watermark on all videos, rendering it effectively useless now. Shame, was a good app.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13523518, 2 years agoWas great, not between that a lot of sites stopped working (like instagram) and that many that work just get huge opaque mark in the middle of the video it's between "bad" and "useless".
Uninstalled. - Rated 1 out of 5by totally-not-ai, 2 years agoAnother hour of life wasted on a promising looking extension.
After you succeed in your installation of the extension and downloading, you'll be greeted by a giant QR code in one of the corners of your downloaded video.
Following that QR code, will take you to these nice people's website, where they explain that you need to pay about thirty dollars to be able to use this extension.
They patiently explain: "You may have noticed a sign at the corner of the videos after they have been processed by the converter. This is related to the fact the conversion feature has not been registered in the add-on.We apologize for the inconvenience, but Video DownloadHelper needs to be funded"
It'd be nice to know it before spending an hour trying to make it work.
Thank you all for all your work, and trying to feed your families. - Rated 1 out of 5by bathtubchimpanzee, 2 years agoBEWARE you have to download a standalone app for it to work but then the downloaded video would have a giant QR code watermarked on it leading to a subscription or payment of some kind to remove the watermark. what an utter waste of time.
had to create a mozilla account just so i can rate this 1 star. if i could i would give this a zero. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18487411, 2 years agoUsed this for many years, but the new watermark wrecks it. Good luck with that!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15337565, 2 years agoNewest update broke the extension, can't complete downloads
- Rated 1 out of 5by Garcez, 2 years agoRuim, só existe a versão paga, os vídeos ficam com QR Code e publicidade sobre o download, é completamente inviável usar. Procurem outra opção.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ratteler, 2 years agoUsed to work flawlessly. New Interface is incomprehensible. Where are my files saved?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18486046, 2 years agoTrash.
From now on you have to pay US28 for a license, otherwise all your videos are downloaded with a gigantic QR that covers 1/3 of the video.
Those who give it 5 stars are bots.
Great job on ruining a plugin. - Rated 1 out of 5by Nico, 2 years agoNot only the video is damaged with qr code, which by the way is precised when you read carefully the application note.
But the sound is damaged too, it sounds like being decoded and re-encoded, and this is not precised anywhere.
This happens whatever download quality being chosen.
This extension is really useless. - Rated 1 out of 5by joe, 2 years ago
