This extension stupidly adds big QR code in video making it useless👎👎

Funzionava abbastanza bene..ora è pessimo

FOR THE ONES WHO WANT TO USE THE OLD VERSION: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/versions

Every downloaded video has a MASSIVE QR code shoved into it to try to force you to pay for this extension. It also requires an invasive additional program to function.
AVOID

I've been using vdh for years, but the most recent release is just completely dysfunctional.

Effectively useless unless you're willing to pay $26, they add a giant watermark in all conversions. You also need to have an external app downloaded for it to work in the first place.

DO NOT UPDATE. Awful May 22nd 2024 Update. Used it for almost a year now. Used to be 5 star extension/app. New updated interface takes 7 seconds to load, versus the 1 second before. Larger videos which require the companion app now have about 1/4 the screen covered by a QR code. Unusable for out-of-browser videos, 7 times slower for browser downloads.

It doesn't work as expected

この度のアップデートで、目出度く何もダウンロードできなくなった。まるで役立たずのアドオン。

It's no longer free.
It inserts a huge QR code into videos. You now need to purchase a license.

needed a 3rd parts software to download a reddit video

gotta buy a license to download youtube videos decent enough to work with. better off buying internet download manager, its cheaper.

Требовать установки дополнительной программы на комп? Зачем? С учётом современных рисков (бэкдоры, трояны, ddos, майнинг и пр) - выглядит всё это очень подозрительно, особенно на фоне того, что другие плагины скачивают видео без установки подозрительных программ.

Eine als kostenlos beworbene Erweiterung, die nur gegen eine zu zahlende Gebühr richtig funktioniert, ist nicht kostenlos. Das ist in meinen Augen hinterhältige Abzockerei.

Отвратительно.
Раньше было ок, потом это расширение затребовало сначала другое приложение поставить, а потом сказало, что аудио мне всё равно не скачать, плебей потому что.
Скачал видео, а эта штука ставит на него QR на полэкрана, потому что снова не премиум пользователь. Ужасно, отключаю, удаляю, не советую.

en saa ladattua työpydälle ohjelmia

Initially, this was a middling app at best. However, now when you download a video a QR code takes up a good quarter of the video screen. Additionally, they are now begging for money and asking that you request the license.

The reality is that these scraping tools aren't difficult to develop and the devs are just begging for money. I recommend switching to a FOSS alternative.

Nope, nope, nope. Now requires a "COMPANION" executable on your OS. Too much privacy to give up for this simple video downloader.
No dice.
