Rated 1 out of 5
by Boradis, 8 years agoUsed to be GREAT! I've been using this extension for years and years. I understand that the way it works had to be changed because of changes from Firefox recently, but now it's a mess. I'm using Firefox on a MacBook Pro with the latest Mac OS.
1. No way to tell if a download is happening. I guess it's doing it with the companion app? All I know is I ended up with a dozen files in my DWHelper folder with no indication they were there before I thought to look.
2. HUGE QR CODE WATERMARK. Hey, here's a great idea, let's ruin your video for you and charge you to NOT fuck it up. Fuuuuuck that. It doesn't warn you about this when you add the extension or download a video.
Look, I get that the developer has done this huge product for free. But I'm unemployed and broke and want to save some videos WITHOUT a watermark on them. Fuck me, right?
Yeah, this extension took a huge nosedive to uselessness. There are free video download sites for places like YouTube that you can find with a simple Google search. I suggest using those.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Logan, 21 hours agoThis is 10th level garbage, it has not downloaded a single video on youtube because it can't detect any. In the past, a LONG time ago, it worked. Now is a flaming bag of detritus - DO NOT GET THIS...use Claude to make your own.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15232207, 2 days agoIt's true... easy to use, safe, no adds, no tracking. I can really recommend it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by MikeTotem, 4 days agoFor the most parts it just works, but it can take two or three tries before it fully downloads.
