Rated 2 out of 5
by Kurt, 4 years agoWell.... in short: On my Ubuntu machine (Ubuntu 22.04, Firefox 107.0.1 64bit) I get mostly errors on YouTube. Interestingly one download yesterday worked fine - but it was the only one.
The downloadable files are listed, but... as mentioned: VideoDownload Helper says: Data may be corrupt - and refuses download. Only those videos are downloadable, which - anyway - can be downloaded using "download media" from Firefox directly. And this isn't the sense of the addon, because such downloads are simple to manage without addon.
Edit:
This is strange:

WARNING: library configuration mismatch
This WARNING irritates me - any idea?

- Rated 2 out of 5by juergenmuc1, a day agoheute ... 2026.08.09.
die Neue Version .. hat ein neues Aussehen ..
die Angabe .. das hier YT Videos downloaded werden können ... ist nicht richtig.
die Vorschau zeigt an .. dass sie es versucht .. aber man kann es selbst nach Stunden sehen, es tut sich gar nichts.
selbst abbrechen funktioniert nicht .. es läuft sich fest .. Browser neu starten ..
es gibt zum Glück .. Seiten, die ohne Probleme YT Videos downloaden ..
diese Version .. ist nicht hilfreich & will Geld haben .. sorry .. no way.

The new version... has a new look...
The claim... that you can download YouTube videos here... is incorrect.
The preview shows... that it's trying... but even after hours, you can see that nothing is happening.
Even canceling it doesn't work... it freezes... restart the browser...
Luckily, there are... sites that download YouTube videos without any problems...
This version... isn't helpful and wants money... sorry... no way. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gustavo VIlaça, a day agoUma das melhores extensões que utilizo. Recomendo a todos

- Rated 2 out of 5by ObsLamprey, 2 days agoEnshittification got to this plugin. Used to work great but now imposes a 2 hour wait between downloads unless you pay for premium.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Anterca, 3 days agoShit ain't free. Pay the fee or wait 2 whole hours to download another video, that's useless. Nowhere on the extention page did it mention it wasn't fully free
