The author purely decided to shake money from people with his giant QR code! One star and I hope that he will be blocked for such arrogance!

Has now added a giant QR code that you have to pay to remove. It never did this until recently. Website says it has done this since 2006 or something silly but this is not true. Reported to Mozilla extensions people.

used to work great. now puts a gigantic QR code to get money.

Es funktioniert auf einmal nicht mehr! Ich habe es mit entfernen und neu installieren versucht, aber kein Erfolg. Deshalb musste ich Video Download Helper entfernen - leider!

QR Code

UPDATE: The recent 5 star reviews have gotta be fake or bots since the big qr code change, I doubt anyone wants that, gotta investigate and see where they are coming from, also the fake reviews and qr code move is just predatory enough to probably warrant reports on it.

1 Star rating he's now putting a qr code on our videos being downloaded to force us to buy, already bad enough he wanted us to download a 3rd party companion app to make the extension work properly.

This was a bait and switch on his part, he wanted as many people as possible to download and use the extension and now he's trying to force us to buy it, pretty scummy imo.

Uninstalled and possibly never coming back to it, there's other alternatives this was just the easiest at the time.

Will keep come back now and then to make sure others know how bad and scummy this move was though.

Dies war mal mein Lieblingsaddon. Nur seitdem die einem einen QR Code als Wasserzeichen reinballern welcher fast die hälfte des Bildschirms einnimmt, kann ich das nicht mehr unterstützen. Klein in der Ecke wäre in ordnung aber das ist richtiger müll.

Good bye Customer Gone

Было неплохим какое-то время. Давно ничего не качал,а оказалось,что теперь и скачать ничего нельзя без установки левого софта на пк.В описании,к слову,ничего не изменилось.

It asks for money otherwise you'll have a huge watermark on downloaded youtube videos, find another extension that does this for free.

I have no clue where the positive reviews come from. This extension requires additional software to function. I can't properly load it on any of my machines, and it's flagged as questionable in terms of safety. It's just a mess. I've downloaded and tried to use it several times over the past 5-6 years, to see if it's improved. It has not. Avoiding.

Extension Payante !!!
Après avoir installé l'extension, il faut installer un autre programme, non reconnu par Windows. Et ensuite la vidéo a un QRcode qui reste tout le long. Pour l'enlever il faut payer ! C'est vraiment une arnaque je ne comprends pas comment Firefox conseille cette extension

Extension peu fonctionnelle, ou alors payante !

Downloadhelper died when it started to ask for money (even if claims to be free). I used to be a DH user in 2014 to 2017 but now this addon turned into nothing but baloney: ask you to download a extra app to download, then burns a watermark into videos and wants you to give €20 to remove it. Developers just killed everything that made DH were good in the past

scam. wants money

requires you to download an external app (which i wouldnt be surprised if it was spyware or something lol) to download as mp3 despite it being advertised as part of the extension
