Rated 3 out of 5
by WandaBazoom, 2 years agoI signed up specifically to review this add-on as it has not been working correctly for several weeks now and the recent spat of 5 star reviews is suspicious to say the least.
Firstly - this is a great add-on WHEN IT WORKS. You can download YT videos up to 720p fuss-free, that's fantastic.
Now, for the past few weeks the add-on has constantly failed to work, 1 time out of 20 you might be able to refresh the page and it will work but looking at the reviews here over the past few weeks it seems that the plugin fails for everyone but paying subscribers.
If this is a change the author has implemented they have yet to comment on it. If this is due to another of YT's own backend changes that periodically break this and other plugins, then we just have to wait for the author to fix the problem. That's fine and they have consistently done just that for years now, for which I am very grateful. However as long as they stay silent, we don't know if this is by their design or not and that is why they have received so many bad reviews here recently.
Open and honest communication is always the best policy, then there's no need for carpet-bombing with fake bot 5 star reviews to drown out the genuine reviews.

- Rated 1 out of 5by hoochhop, 19 hours 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, 3 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.
