- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12654620, 8 years agoТребует слишком много разрешений и установки дополнительного програмного обеспечения. Раньше было топовым дополнением которое я ставил первым теперь полное дно.Удалил. Теперь перешел на FVD и Download flash & video

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13109865, 8 years agoТребует установки конвертатора, когда он априори не нужен, и потом требовать купить лицензию.
Requires the installation of a converter, when it is not needed a priori, and then demand to buy a license. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13456705, 8 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12704269, 8 years agowas good. not anymore. now asking you to install companion app and very slow. would not recommend downloading
- Rated 1 out of 5by nickclarkson, 8 years agoLike all recent reveiews say, this USED to be a great addon. Now it doesn't do anything without a "companion app". It needs too many permissions for my liking too. Used to be a 5-star addon, now if I could rate it 0 I would. Uninstalled.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Karl , 8 years agoContains hidden fees. First they take you to their website and make you install an external application, then when you try to use it, it sends you to their website again and says you have to buy the add-on.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13551861, 8 years agoVideo DownloadHelper was a great tool for me to preserve the videos I like. It's was awesome!
Unfortunately, it's now asking users to install companion app so that it can combine unwanted QR codes with the video that users are trying to download. Even worse, the re-encoding process proceeded by the companion app needs much CPU resources to deal with, and for sure users are not willing to watch this happens.
Goodbye, VDH. - Rated 1 out of 5by Tungstie, 8 years agoThis used to be a great add-on, now it's a spam engine that will nag you with an unwanted tab every time you open firefox - whether it be for a 0.0.1 update, or a reminder to download the "optional" companion app required to save 90% of the video resolutions and formats that used to be free
I can't really recommend you to try another add-on doing the same thing, since there is none at the moment on firefox quantum... but the moment someone with a bit of time on their hands develops an alternative, just *ditch* downloadhelper - it had its heyday, but now it's just an annoying piece of spamming nagware.
And just to be clear: i don't fault the author for requesting donations, that's perfectly fair... it's the method he's using to bully people into handing over cash that make me want to grab a bucket and lean over it
My recommendation: disable video downloadhelper, and only enable it when you really need to try grabbing a vid
RIP video downloadhelper - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13550995, 8 years agoUsed to be really good, would download anything. Then this weird companion app? Gives me a bad feeling..... so now it's gone, gone, gone.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13545320, 8 years agoCompletly crazy. Dowloader needs to install external program and during download it puts big QR Code watermark in video !!!
It takes long time.
You have to pay 28$ to remove watermark.
One word: shit.
Don't recommend. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13545294, 8 years ago?????????????????????????? Companion ?????????????????????????????????????
