- Rated 2 out of 5by Pesty, 6 days agoGiant QR code watermark makes any video basically unusable, I understand needing to be able to monetize a product, but at the cost of a solid 5 seconds I can just use another application- maybe adding a daily limit would be a somewhat reasonable compromise.
- Rated 2 out of 5by frank, 17 days agoIt is easy to use, but downloading from YouTube is slow. It should allow to select different levels of resolution. Lower resolution downloads should be free and without QR code.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Ksorkrax, 17 days ago"This operation requires an external application to be completed." - Yeah, no. Absolutely not. If your add-on makes my virus-scam-spider senses tingling, that's a uninstall.

- Rated 2 out of 5by a68k, 25 days agoFunktioniert grundsätzlich, aber die Update Meldung nervte schon immer und so langsam sollten die Macher mal erwachsen werden!
zu den unmöglichsten Gelegenheiten geht die Erweiterung mit dem Seitenaufruf auf den Sack!

Ein Armutszeugnis!!! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18814905, a month agoThis used to be an incredible 5 star extension. Sadly over the years it has become increasingly dated and a poor performer. There is an odd, possibly caching issue, where if you close a tab Firefox freezes while Video DownloadHelper does something.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18208436, a month agoUsed to work very well. But not anymore, unfortunately. It doesn't support any well-known sites anymore. I've been using it for downloading from YouTube and many other sites. Not anymore. Still hoping it will be repaired someday.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14730727, a month agoFor months, I've been trying to get this to work. Even got the pro version. Used to work fine. If I attach the icon to a tab, It says 'generating link.' Link never appears. What's up?

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18809457, a month agoThis used to be a great tool for long time for me but then the developer decided to watermark downloaded videos with an annoying QR code which cover a quarter of the screen at the left bottom of the video.
No idea why it was necessary to do so. You could have easily invented a pro plan which would allow users to download videos of more length or higher quality, but you decided to watermark even the tiniest downloads.
Since then this tool become unable to be used for me sadly. I was lucky enough to find an alternative (which however does not work as smooth as VDH used to be), but at least does not force me to go through a decent paywall.
Yes, you can not spent your work for free and you have costs with this, I understand this, but there are other options generate money with your app or at least made the watermark a bit less big and maybe transparent.
You don't have to say "Okay, I'm going to force users to pay for it".
And as a sidenote, 18,50€ is way too much (even for a lifetime license). I would have spent 6/7€ for it, but not 18,50€. That sum even exceeds some AAA games revenue on Steam! Too greedy sadly.
Again, this used to be an excellent tool for a long time for me. It still detects HLS streams where other extensions simply fail to detect anything at all. Only could recommend it and gave it 5 stars, but with this policy change now, I cannot longer use nor recommend this extension.
I gave 2 stars because of functionality it provided for me once. But I would like to give 0 stars for the recent change to set an annoying QR code watermark. - Rated 2 out of 5by bogdan, a month agogreat downloads from youtube until last week. it stopped working. please fix it!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18648510, a month agoPaguei pela extensão, mas só vive me deixando na mão. Falha de vez em quando, não baixando os vídeos e, às vezes, volta em alguns dias. Não dá para confiar.
