- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15081514, 6 years agoThis extension used to be the best for downloading anything. Now, it's terrible. Takes a normal amount of time to download a video, then it takes 4 times longer to "convert" the video. This conversion is actually just placing a huge QR code in the top left of the entire video. Waste of time, waste of processing power, and a waste of potential. Don't waste your time on this extension.
I've tried Video Downloader Professional and it seems to do the task well. - Rated 1 out of 5by MartRose, 6 years agoBy far the slowest download utility. Sorry but it rarely works for me, and when it does it takes forever. Several other download add-ons work fine.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15062021, 6 years agoLa aplicación te obliga a instalar un "software auxiliar" (no funciona sin este) que el antivirus detecta como malicioso y dañino, cabe señalar que utilizo macOS 10.12

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14769527, 6 years agoOne star (less is impossible) because it is impossible to choose every time the folder where save the file to download.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike W, 6 years agoBeen using this for years. Excellent addon, but I'm not going to pay for something that I can do for free. Uninstalled as soon as I saw the new (huge) watermark in the the top left corner.

- Rated 1 out of 5by KassyD, 6 years agoI got ransomeware from this, so be warned.
I was on Youtube, trying to download a Kingdom Hearts cutscene video, and whilst it was downloading the 1080p version (which uses the companion app), my anti-virus started popping up messages saying "Threat detected, no action required". At first only 1-2 ever 10 seconds, than about 1 every second, until it finished downloading the video.
Once done, I navigated to the folder where the video was downloaded, and all of a sudden ALL the files in the folder turned into "DOCM" files and a text file appeared giving me instructions on how to retrieve my files by sending money through TOR using crypto currency.
I checked 3 other folders, wherein all files turned into DOCM files, and then immediately shut off the computer. I had to completely reformat C Drive, and reinstall Windows and everything from scratch to kill the ransomeware.
Thankfully most of my files which were not on C drive were saved due to shutting the PC of quickly, but just BE AWARE! I was not doing anything whilst downloading the Kingdom Hearts cutscene video. I was not browsing another site, and I was not downloading anything else.
So the companion app for this add-on more than likely contains ransomeware!
