Rated 2 out of 5
by Dennis R. Levesque, 4 years agoFirst, I have more than one downloader. The request to review it did not include an icon/logo of this app, so I don't really know which app this review is for. So, I can't really say much about it. Big mistake right off the bat. Second, the permissions required to use MANY apps are too general and not restricted enough. Example: "Access your data for all web sites". This is way too broad and a BIG security risk. This should be restricted to specific items for specific reasons, and not left to the honor system. Other things like reading my clipboard is not necessary, and should be restricted to reading only what is pasted into the app by the user. If I don't want to paste it, then it shouldn't be allowed to read it. All this applies especially to passwords and user data. It's way too easy to abuse it's purpose. The purpose can be fulfilled without access to user's passwords and sensitive data; you just have to do it the right way without taking the "easy way out" to avoid the effort.
I like the idea of the app and it's output, but it's internal workings are seriously flawed. It needs a serious audit.
Instead of donating to the app/cause/support, I'd rather help develop the app by guiding the programmers on how they ought to program it. Any takers?

- Rated 1 out of 5by hoochhop, 2 days agoUsed this add on for many years and for many years worked flawlessly. Sad to see it go. Now it does absolutely nothing as of mid 2024. Seems developer has abandoned the project. Any positive reviews must be from bots or developer himself.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rudolf, 4 days agoI have been using this extension for years. It never failed me once. Even without the HD quality this remains one of, if not the only, best Youtube downloader ever made, and believe me I have tried many. Big thanks for the developer and keep up the good work.
