- Rated 1 out of 5by Matze, 4 years agoLangsamer Download, Zusatzanwendung erforderlich, Bedienung unübersichtlich, Heruntergeladene Videos sind in der nicht-registrierten Version durch ein Wasserzeichen (QR-Code) zerstört und unbrauchbar. Wasserzeichen lässt sich nur durch eine kostenpflichtige Registrierung entfernen.
Ein absolutes No-go!!!
Dieses Addon habe ich direkt wieder entfernt. - Rated 1 out of 5by Mike, 4 years agoThe program does not work on Ubuntu. (Ubuntu 21.10.) The program is installed, but when I try to download it, it displays the error message that a co-application is needed, as if I hadn't downloaded it. Absolutely not usable. Has the developer ever tried this on Linux? Earlier versions worked without further ado.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15708725, 4 years agoStarted watermarking + charges $30USD to remove, until then was very good
Edit: Use jdownloader2 or youtube-dl + tartube/stacher [gui for youtube-dl] - Rated 1 out of 5by SpeeDee, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by herbertviana, 4 years agoExistem outros meios para conseguir doações. Essa marca d'água ficou horrível e os downloads ficam muito mais lentos.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17196192, 4 years agoUsed to be a free and mediocre extension. Now it adds a watermark. Scummy practice making a useless extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by TheRealOlaf, 4 years agoExtremely slow, requires a companion app now, very clunky UI and also adds a watermark to the videos. This addon used to be so much better, what a shame
- Rated 1 out of 5by JZ, 4 years agoVDH used to work fine, but now it just says "Companion App not installed". So I downloaded the .deb file (I'm on Ubuntu) and installed it. It puts the binary in /opt/net.downloadhelper.coapp/. But still it says "Companion App not installed". So how does it find the binary? It's supposed to look for a .json file, which the .deb file installs in /usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts. But wait, Firefox is a 64-bit program, not a 32-bit one (we're in the 21-century now!) so it should be in /usr/lib64, not /usr/lib. So I make a symlink from the lib dir to the lib64 dir. Still doesn't work: "Companion App not installed." :-( I'm giving up since it's already taken a lot of time to discover these bugs. I suspect that it's a minor configuration problem that failed QC. It's probably simple, but it's enough to keep VDH from working at all.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Prizm, 4 years agoPuts a WATERMARK on your video, but doesn't tell you until after it's done converting. And the converting takes a ridiculously long time because they're RE-ENCODING YOUR VIDEO to put their stupid QR code watermark on it!

- Rated 1 out of 5by genericusername997, 4 years agoI don't know how VDH did it, but they retroactively put a bunch of watermarks over all the videos I downloaded. Probably their "companion app" ran in the background while I was doing something else, and re-encoded everything with a stupid QR code watermark. So now I have a few gigabytes of video with a QR code asking me to pay $16 to remove the QR code watermark. This is no better than ransomware, and if you're smart you'll avoid this app and report it for abuse.
It did used to be a 4.5* app, these changes are recent.
