- Rated 3 out of 5by Emery Palmerson, 2 days agoI noticed that the user has to acquire a license to download videos that are freely available on other sites, plus I noticed that the nameless comments are fives stars set one hour apart as if this company is now spamming the reviews as if they know that they are actively committing fraud on the public.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12162781, 2 days agoI like the new look. I don't like that if i mistakenly add to the que. that I cant stop it. or at least haven't figured out how. it seems to be more reliable than the old version on the downloads completion rate.
- Rated 3 out of 5by randomenough, 8 days agoI've been using this consistently for more than a year. I use it to save some streaming audio shows from radio stations. It works pretty well and still needs a lot of improvement. My biggest gripe is that some web pages will present 27 possible files to download with no hint as to which audio stream each is. I have tried downloading all 27, but it is very time-consuming to go through each file and listen long enough to determine if it is the one I want.
If it consistently presented each file in the order on which it is on the page, that would work. Or perhaps there could be a way to identify the stream by playing the first 10 seconds before downloading.
There have been a few updates and each one has frustrated me because I have to learn a whole new way to use the extension. Each update has been more pain than pleasure as they make one thing better and sometimes two things worse. - Rated 3 out of 5by Xan, 9 days agoDownloads videos in decent quality, but without sound. If there is a setting to fix this, I cannot find it.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18447508, 10 days agoIf you find the well "hidden" option to switch back to the old UI, it feels like the old version again and some of the awkward restrictions like not being allowed to chose the download folder without the companion installed. Up from bad review and one star to 3 stars for now. Havent finished a full test yet. Hiding the option to chose the download location is a VERY weird thing.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Danilitikus, 14 days agoSeit dem Update gestern (auf Version 9.0.2.3) ist dieses Add-On, was die Benennung der Videodateien betrifft, eine mittlere Katastrophe: die frühere Einstellung, wie lang der Dateiname sein darf, wird nicht berücksichtigt, Sonderzeichen (die durchaus in Dateinamen erlaubt sind) werden einfach entfernt - dazu zählen sogar Punkte, Bindestriche, Klammern etc. - sodass der Dateiname fast nicht mehr erkennbar ist!
Noch etwas muss ich ergänzen: auch fast sämtliche sprachspezifische Sonderbuchstaben werden eliminiert bzw. gegen das englische Alphabet ausgetauscht - diesen Unfug gab es in der vorigen Version nicht - unakzeptabel!
Auch die Anzeige der für den Download verfügbaren Video-Codecs und Auflösungen ist viel unübersichtlicher und weniger informativ geworden.
Ich will meine bisherige Version 8.x zurück!!! - Rated 3 out of 5by Czubaka1234, 14 days agoI really like that new UI. Unfortunately the new UI doesn't display media detected on closed tabs ("Orphan"). Please add this and I will gladly give 5 stars.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18023884, 18 days agoI used to give 5 stars review for the greatest video download extension ever, for older version as 8.0.0.6. It's able to download every video as I want. After your updated newer version had been coming, It was working marvelously for a few months. It's downloading faster like lightning. After that errors occurred on all newer version until the current version9. I'm so disappointed and I give you down rate to 3 stars now unfortunately. I'm so wondered these errors are not fixed until now, even a lot of complaints are showed up.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Stephen, 18 days agoThe old version is fabulous and I rate 5 stars. The new version is terrible and I rate 1 star, hence the average. As a result, I have gone back to the previous version and turned off updates. If you're new to this, my recommendation is to go back to the pre May 2024 version.
- Rated 3 out of 5by JayR, 20 days agoWhile the app still does a great job of downloading videos, the interface is not nearly as user-friendly as the previous version. And the tiny font makes it very difficult for those with vision trouble to find the button that lets us select download as. Bring back the old interface.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Stef, a month agoL'extension fonctionne très bien. En revanche, elle cause d'énormes problèmes de performance sur twitch depuis au moins 4 ans. Il serait temps de s'en occuper.

The addon works very well. However, it causes huge performance issues on twitch for at least 4 years. It's about time to take care of it. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18359602, a month ago
