It does the job of downloading the video but it adds an horrendous qr code. Good bye trashy addon

Videos are being marked with a QR code

Malware: This demo of a bad commercial product installs dangerous software which hides and actively avoids uninstall. The "captured" videos are of very bad quality and are covered by a big black box (0% transparent, so calling it a "watermark" is just another lie from this scammer named "mig").

Works, but overlays a huge QR code on the video unless you pay their ransom of $29...no thanks.

dog shit app. Need to pay now extortionary bullshit

Просит установить самостоятельное приложение, что просто недопустимо с точки зрения элементарной безопасности.

Gratis??? Non proprio visto che una volta istallato e scaricato il primo video,chiedono di pagare un abbonamento per rimuovere un fastidioso ed enorme QR sul video grabbato...laciate perdere c'è di meglio sul web!!!

This used to be a really good add-on and it just worked. Not anymore. Too many annoying hoops to jump through, apparently including a paywall to remove watermarks. Use at your own risk.

You are required to install a third party application onto your computer to actually download Youtube videos.

Not sure why this is even necessary since there are other extensions that will still allow you to download Youtube videos for free that work just fine.

I do not think this deserves to be a recommend app because the third party app has not been verified

Fucx u for your QR code

No longer works without 3rd party software. Downloads are low res with huge watermark.

First you have to install a third party software, then the app put a watermark the video with QRcode and ask to pay a licence. This si scam.

Used to be great. Just wasted $28.50 to remove watermark and nothing works.

Used it before, now you must install several things to get the job done. Now I use https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/youtube-download-hd-download/ much simpler and better !

Не хочет работать без установки дополнительной программы с расширением EXE. Такого нам не надо.

asked me to download an exe file from an extra website. no thanks.

I've just tried out this addon and so dissappointed to find a QR code watermark throughout the whole video. Why bother with this when other addons deliver a clean video file.

This add-on has two big problems:
1. It is slow (It takes several times longer to download the same YouTube video compared to the video downloader built in Slimjet)
and
2. It is only after you've installed the additional program, and you've waited until your video is downloader and converted that you are being told that the video has a QR-code over a large portion of the screen. So, it feels like bait-and-switch.
Why couldn't they be upfront about that?
And why the description fails to tell you that an additional package is needed for conversion (and essentially for download, as it keeps telling you that you need that package if it is not installed).


Additional problems:
3. The UI is quirky and not very clear about what is going to happen, where you can find your videos, etc.
4. Even though you choose the final destination for the video, this add-on download files to your "Downloads" folder (Win-10 here) first. And this is a problem: The first time it happened, the download (of a 2-hr-long video) stopped because this extension used up all the space available on the system disk. This also created a problem for something else that was being done at the same time. I see no easy way to change the folder for the temporary files for this extension.
5. You need to install an additional software package.
6. You cannot pause and resume the download
7. The time estimate doesn't get updated often enough, so that you think the download is stalled. I believe the estimate is also not very correct, but it is hard to tell, when you look at it for probably a minute, or at least half a minute without seeing any change...

What is nice is that you have a bunch of options (formats and resolutions), even though sometimes they are a bit too cryptic: e.g. without the additional software package installed, I see two "mp4" options, and the extension doesn't tell me the difference between them (do they have different resolutions? ...)
