Another case of dev chasing money and completely trashing on the userbase. Take a look at the github page to see them circlejerk. I recommend checking out other options instead of using this broken mess. If you want to see other reviews, filter to only 1 star to see actual reviews instead of 5 star bots.

I hope whoever at Mozilla is in charge of putting the recommended label on addons will review this update and consider removing it from the list of recommended extensions.

The new Version is bad. You can no longer see the quality of the downloads. Every video and photo from the respective website is displayed. It takes an eternity until you find the video to download

Doesn't work.

This extension stupidly adds big QR code in video making it useless👎👎

Funzionava abbastanza bene..ora è pessimo

FOR THE ONES WHO WANT TO USE THE OLD VERSION: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/versions

Every downloaded video has a MASSIVE QR code shoved into it to try to force you to pay for this extension. It also requires an invasive additional program to function.
AVOID

I've been using vdh for years, but the most recent release is just completely dysfunctional.

Effectively useless unless you're willing to pay $26, they add a giant watermark in all conversions. You also need to have an external app downloaded for it to work in the first place.

DO NOT UPDATE. Awful May 22nd 2024 Update. Used it for almost a year now. Used to be 5 star extension/app. New updated interface takes 7 seconds to load, versus the 1 second before. Larger videos which require the companion app now have about 1/4 the screen covered by a QR code. Unusable for out-of-browser videos, 7 times slower for browser downloads.

It doesn't work as expected

この度のアップデートで、目出度く何もダウンロードできなくなった。まるで役立たずのアドオン。

It's no longer free.
It inserts a huge QR code into videos. You now need to purchase a license.

needed a 3rd parts software to download a reddit video

gotta buy a license to download youtube videos decent enough to work with. better off buying internet download manager, its cheaper.

Требовать установки дополнительной программы на комп? Зачем? С учётом современных рисков (бэкдоры, трояны, ddos, майнинг и пр) - выглядит всё это очень подозрительно, особенно на фоне того, что другие плагины скачивают видео без установки подозрительных программ.
