I'm, unfortunately, downgrading my rating of this extension...and I have a premium license (Pay once, use forever). Used to be great, easy to use, and worked on most sites I visited.

Then issues like the watermark and conversion tool controversy, etc.. And now, for me, it is downloading from fewer and fewer sites, often only giving me a partial download, or even an error.

I have removed and reinstalled several times, but it hasn't improved to its original functionality.

Disappointing for a product I loved and reccomended to many others.

doesnt work very well immo be honest

Раньше всё скачивал, сейчас с половины сайтов не качает. Лучше Vee Vee юзать.

un gros QR code pour youtube... dommage qu il ne prenne pas tout l écran ! bye bye >> vive: yt-dlp-gui

randomly stops working or freezes

Works alright on windows, but runs like absolute buns on Linux. Downloads move at a snails pace yet I have StarLink. Makes absolutely no sense at all!

Tried to download audio from Chrome with this extension but it says "Please use the Firefox version". So then I download the Firefox version and it says "Please install the external program". So I download and install the external program but then it says "Please pay $30 for a license to download audio". WTH!?

They made me jump through all these loops just to sell me a license at the very end!

Chrome version works fine for downloading videos so I'll give it an extra star.

They added that QR code that ruins the experience when converting the video. They should have always made the extension paid, not free, and then added the QR code. I removed the extension after 10 years. / Pusieron ese codigo QR que daña la experiencia al convertir el video, hubieran puesto la extensión siempre de pago y no gratis para despues colocar el código QR. Elimine la extensión despues de 10 años

QRcode!!!

Used to be very helpful. Now it covers most of the video with a QR code. No longer usable.

Requires payment to remove watermark, as well as converting to audio.

I have no problem with wanting a license to avoid watermarks on some downloads (mainly Youtube AFAIK), but warning only AFTER the download is shady and stupid (is a lose-lose situation, nobody will buy after such a shady trick, and because buying the license will not remove the watermark, you have to download again)

Years ago used to work great. Since then began asking to install a software on your computer, to register and pay, or something else. Now the latest - supposedly downloads it but not as a file. Clicking "play" or "open folder" does nothing. I realised I always end up looking for other ways to save the video I need. :(

To say that it works well is very relative since 70% of the time it displays this message “We cannot download this file” so for 18€50 it's expensive to have an AddOn that doesn't do what I ask it to and it's been going on for a long time.

Dire qu'il marche bien est très relatif vu que 70% du temps il m'affiche ce message "Nous ne pouvons pas télécharger ce fichier" donc pour 18€50 ça fait cher l'AddOn qui ne fait pas ce que je lui demande et ça dure depuis longtemps

As far as browser-extensions go, it has been one of the better ones BUT - lately downloads have been failing semi-regularly where it only downloads 5% of the video! I feel like these downloader extensions always start out great and then the quality starts to go down and they stop working.

Seems the mp3 option requires a $30 license.

on allway to download

This extension is working less and less with every update.

SPESSO SI BLOCCA E SCOMPARE

A l'époque, comme toutes les premières version de toutes les applications, ça fonctionnait sans aucun problème.
Mais avec le temps les gens rajoute toujours plus de contraintes utilisateur (prog externe, filigrane) afin de forcer et soutirer toujours plus d'argent.
Je souhaite personnellement un service simple et fonctionnel, pas de mises à jour futile sur la forme d'une icône.
L'existant de base de cette addon était de télécharger des vidéos, rien de plus.
Je suis donc passer en juillet 2025 sur yt-dlp-gui qui reste simple et fonctionnel.
