posted 3 days agoHello! We would like to state once more that the FDM extension only transmits the necessary data to launch downloads in the FDM client. The anonymous data usage alert was implemented purely to meet Mozilla’s requirements. If you find this unacceptable, you can always choose not to install the extension. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll consider this before leaving a lower rating. Thank you! - Rated 1 out of 5by AICoder, 16 days agoAnonyme Datenerfassung muss zwingend zugelassen werden, ansonsten lässt sich die Erweiterung nicht installieren. Was soll bitte diese Verarsche? Wenn ich schon die Wahl habe, warum funktioniert die dann nicht? Dubios. Das spricht nicht gerade für echte Anonymität. Ganz im Gegenteil.

posted 14 days agoHello! The FDM extension only shares the information needed to start downloads in Free Download Manager. It does not collect any additional data. We added the notice about anonymous data to meet Mozilla’s requirements.
If you are not comfortable with this, you can choose not to install the extension. We hope this explanation helps and that you will consider it before giving us a lower rating. Thank you for your understanding! - Rated 5 out of 5by Aragorn, 25 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by JackorOff, a month agoVery useful, one of the best download managers out there. No bloat/extra fuss, integrates with a vpn, and easily customizable. Great work from the devs
- Rated 5 out of 5by mentoska, a month agoForced data collection.
Edit: thank you to the developer for clarifying. Extension has always worked fine, I just noticed the data collection notice when switching to firefox and due to its poor wording it seemed like it would send technical information/telemetry.Developer response

posted 2 months agoHello! To download videos from YouTube and other platforms, we recommend using the Elephant addon for Free Download Manager together with the latest version of FDM and your browser. You can find it here: https://free-addons.org/- Rated 5 out of 5by firaweti, 2 months agoL'extension permet vraiment de télécharger plus vite en redirigeant les fichiers vers le logiciel.

It mentions how its settings can't be loaded and how it s out of date.

posted 3 months agoHello! For the FDM browser addon to work correctly, you need to install the Free Download Manager software. You can download the most recent version on the official site of FDM.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Hall, 4 months agoIt's a good extension and app, used it for a while, mostly for downloading batches of big files faster. It's suddenly spamming my dev console with errors though, specifically "TypeError: can't access property "runtime", browser is undefined". Says it's coming from a context menu helper file, though the context menu options still seem to work fine, at least in some places. Tried removing and re-adding the extension. but it's still happening. Guess I'll have to disable the extension until I figure out what the problem is.

Por favor, atualize o programa."

posted 4 months agoHi! This error happens when the extension loses connection with the desktop app.
To fix it: open the FDM app > Settings > Browser Integration. Uncheck your browser's box, wait 5 seconds, and check it again. Then, restart your browser. If that fails, cleanly reinstall the desktop app. If it doesn't help, please contact us at: support@freedownloadmanager.org - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12532050, 4 months agoWhile there are other managers that do similar things, FDM is best integrated and supports all OSs.
