by Dwan, 3 years agoThis Addon used to be so great so this pains me to write this review.
The new update after V4.8 messed everything up on my PC. This update made my browser so slow and laggy that I thought I had malware on my computer. I even uninstalled and reinstalled my browser and performed a system restore which all turned out to be unnecessary because the culprit of my problems was right under my nose all along and I didn't even know it.
Once I disabled the Ant Downloader performance on my browser all returned to normal with no more lagging. I hate to say it but this is a BAD extension now and I don't intend to use it anymore unless their are same massive changes in the works to get this extension back on track.
Do better AVD!

posted 3 years agoSorry you had to perform extra steps to restore normal browser activity. Next time try running Firefox in safe mode first (firefox.exe -safe-mode).
Our TO-DO list with new features that users send to support and want them in AVD does not fit the screen. There is such term as "growth pain": sometimes we're making big changes to AVD to extend it and make new features possible. Inevitably there will be issues at first; version 4.10-4.12 is the largest change since 2017. No matter how well we test each version before release, there can be pitfalls we're unaware of unless we release the version to the wide public.
Please, perform reset of the extension at Settings - Reset, and let us know if you still encountering the issues.
Thank you.
