Suddenly puts a huge watermark in downloaded videos, making it completely useless without paying.
It claims the watermark is for converted videos only, but they are in all downloaded videos.
At least warn the user instead of wasting their time with this crap.

Used to be a really nice addon, but it got ruined by being greedy and randomly adding a watermark asking for donations, which wasn’t the case before. I do support developers if addons like these take effort and time, but then write me a nice email or something, but not like this. I obviously removed this addon and will never install it again.

Ruined a once excellent plug-in by greed. Now you can download only videos crippled with a HUGE watermark unless you pay for an obscure third-party product. Install an old version, if you have saved one, and deny any updates.

This went from a 5 to a 1 real quick by adding a HUGE QR code onto downloads to extort $30.50 to remove. Other note is how it will cause streaming to stutter so you're constantly disabling it as soon as you're done using it.

Big QR code when you download the video. Unuseful

XD....Lifetime License
FK QR code & FK Video DownloadHelper "UNINSTALLER"
Installed Jdownloader

Leaves a HUGE QR code on downloaded vids until user pays $30.50. Not only that, I'm not crazy about their required permissions - "Access browser activity during navigation" and "Access your data for all websites." Sounds like tracking to me for which I'd be paying $30.50 to allow.

кал.

Used to work great, but now every downloaded file has a huge water mark which makes the recording useless. Moreover the download speed is miserable.

last update adds a huge QR to the downloaded video, making the download useless unless you pay €20.50.

doing this deserves an uninstall, if developers were smart enough they would find alternative methods, but instead they are going to get review bombed and lose all the users. for the people that couldn't find a decent video downloader, maybe check out JDownloader2. 👍

Leaves a giant QR code demanding $$$. Corporations have sucked my wallet dry with their greed in the last 5 years, frankly I just can't be bothered anymore. Record with OBS, use 4Kvideodownloader, I don't care but I'm not paying for this!

I cannot vouch for this. It puts a gigantic watermark on your downloaded video unless you pay for a "lifetime" license, with no assurance that the extension will continue to work as different services change their API.

Adds a gigantic QR code watermark that takes a fifth of the screen. You're expected to pay $30+ for a "perpetual" license, while these extensions often keep breaking or become inoperable due to services changing their APIs

Download wird abgebrochen, vollig Sinnlos, Schrott!

After what I’ve experienced, buying another license from this company simply doesn’t make sense.
There’s too much unpredictability regarding browser support, product stability, and transparency in licensing.
A “lifetime license” means nothing if core features can vanish overnight because of external decisions, effectively rendering the purchase worthless.

Have to install additional software to make it work. Plus, now you have to pay $30 or you will have a huge QR code persistent in your video. Completely useless.

Leaves big watermarks on videos. Free version is useless.

One star for converting qr code. even if there will be 1 euro i will not pay it because it was free and now searching for money it is not problem to pay but from zero to 20eu.. Why author is not asking politly for donation, im monthly subscriber/donator for many platforms, like Archive.org, etc, thanks but not thanks.

The software was free and has always worked fine. However they added a watermark. The watermark however also was applied to some videos downloaded PRIOR this update. I don't think the software should be able to do that.

Converting video to mp3 requires installing additional software and after that tells that I need to pay 20 euro for converter license.

This addon adds noticeable delay to every youtube page loaded. When scrolling youtube shorts, this extension alone adds delay before UI is responsive, and VERY poor performance after quickly scrolling past 2+ videos. After attempting to scroll through 3+ youtube shorts, the videos will begin to buffer, not load, and firefox memory and cpu utilization spike for a moment before catching back up.

switched to freemium model, just use yt-dlp instead
