WARNING VIRUS AND QR CODE PAYMENT RANSOM

The downloader does not work on YouTube but says you need the companion app, fair enough so I download it.

It then adds a MASSIVE QR Code which you can only remove by PAYING for a license, this is a breach of Mozilla rules.

So I tested the companion download on VirusTotal plus some other sites.

The result says two sites found malware called W32.AIDetectMalware
VBA32 & TrojanDownloader.Private

So I test elsewhere and get this description for above

f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader.shtml#

this type of trojan secretly downloads malicious files from a remote server, then installs and executes the files.

No way I am risking this, there are other video download apps

Unusable because of the qr code. Disappointed.

This extension has been broken forever. It can't download anything at all.

Place a massive qr code in the corner. ruining any video taken unless given money not worth it also cant dowload audia without giving em money

won't download. says it's corrupt

A huge QR code water mark on the video if you don't pay them. Extremely high performance impact due to adding that QR code. WORST ADD-ON !!!

Испортились. Теперь встраивают QR-код поверх видео при сохранении (перекодировании). На данный момент перешел на 4К Video Downloader, других альтернатив пока не искал.

wanna have fun with it just pay them

The app will promt you for a companion app download. And after you have downloaded a video it will then inform you that a large QR code has been overlayed. If you would like that QR code removed then its going to cost you. None of this information if front presented.

It water marks videos unless you pay them

watermark

Too many permissions. It would be better if (detailed) permission had to be granted each time it is doing something that could be invasive.

Does not work without installation of an external program. If I wanted that, I'd use jDownloader or another standalone where I just copy and paste the URL.

what a b.s. app only to seduce you to use a paid version, the free version generates such a big mark it is totally unusable

I paid to join, but still cannot use Video Download Helper. Use caution when paying -- I never got my money's worth.

Used to be great, now it is useless. Only download about 10 seconds of a video and you can no longer download to a folder of your choice. And that is when it can find the video. Now it often says that there is no video even when it is playing

Расширение потребует установки некоего "компаньона" на ПК, дабы скачать видео и в процессе скачивания, воткнуть в него гигантский QR-код в левом нижнем углу. То есть по сути, это испражнение, ой то есть расширение, не только скачивает, а ещё и конвертирует видео.
А чтобы этого QR-кода не было, охреневший разработчик этого испражнения требует $30.
Так что, настоятельно не рекомендую этот мусор ставить и использовать.

Рекомендую использовать программу для Windows: Youtube Downloader HD. Ищите на торрент-трекерах.

Eu usava muito o DownloadHelper, mas agora na versão gratuita quando preciso baixar um vídeo ele colocar um QR Gigante no canto do vídeo e não permite mais baixar MP3 (só audio) sem ser Premium. Infelizmente virou uma extensão inútil, prefiro o iTubeGo.

Started putting gigantic qr code in the corner when you use free version. You have to pay to get rid of it. Now useless.
