by KnOwlEdge, 5 months agoWhile in the past you could choose ANY folder in your PC as download folder for this app, since a while it forces you to choose either the default Windows Downloads folder or a subfolder of it.
And contrarily to the past, it also COMPLETELY bypasses the Firefox setting to "ask every time", i.e. even if you have this option active in the Firefox settings, while you use this app there is no popup to choose where to download.
There's the option "Download as" but that too, the lazy dev didn't even noticed that there's a but that lets the download start immediately without any popup. You have to stop the download and there it opens the popup.
MENTAL!!!
For me 10001% USELESS as of now, and I VERY DEEPLY resent the dev for this. SHAME ON YOU!!!

- Been using it for years, it was pretty good back then. Paid for the "lifetime" subscription years ago. It never stopped putting the QR code on videos, and there is no way to reach anyone about this, but it at least worked KINDA SORTA.
NOW it's completely useless, with this new waiting period scheme. Lately, it hasn't even been finding the YT videos at all.
I guess it's time to admit to myself that I was scammed out of my money, and look for a replacement.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD. I'm deleting it. If they ever make it work again -- without stupid schemes -- maybe I'll try it again.
ONE STAR because I can't give it NONE. - Rated 5 out of 5by StaatsGeheim, 2 days agoThis video downloader is simply great, easy to use and works for both music videos and other protected stuff (MP4). Great quality of both images and sound and very quick download time. Sometimes YouTube blocks it, but with Proton VPN you can avoid or fix this. A must have add-on!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13140755, 3 days agoUp to version 9.5.0.2, this was a brilliant extension. The cluttered interface and the extremely limited customisation options in version 10 forced me to downgrade to version 9.5.0.2. I have disabled updates for this extension.
