Review by R. J. Howard
Rated 4 out of 5
by R. J. Howard, 3 months agoThis is the most effective video downloader I've tried. I would give it 5 stars, but the elimination of the companion program is a bad thing. The problem is the Firefox disallowed extensions to save files wherever uses wished some years ago, so a program by the author was necessary to complete a save in the regular way. Without this, one has to go to a pre-chosen location and move the file to ones preferred location for it. Yes, one can use the extension to open the Downloads folder and move the file, but that's more work than I want to do. Still, I understand and this is more than I've gotten for free in a while, so kudos to the developer.

You are now shown so many videos and variations—presumably pulled from the cache—that you have to painstakingly sift through them based solely on their duration to figure out which one you actually want to download, as they all share the exact same filename.
In previous versions—and for years prior—you could simply select fast the video directly from the currently active tab. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19927126, a day agoThis is an excellent extension. It just WORKS. No fuss and no muss, just does what you want it to. it's easily the best downloader extension I've ever used (and I've used many).
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19506526, 2 days agoVery good on most sites. Sometimes only sound gets downloaded but it seems more related to the site then VDH itself.

- Rated 5 out of 5by 38percentsure, 2 days agoBesides my password manager, this is probably my most-used add-on in Firefox. I've used it successfully for a few bigger projects but the daily use is the key for me. Easy and quick way to download social videos. Not complicated. Effectively one-click for most things. Recommended!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19013942, 3 days agoSo I love this product, but the only thing keeping me from giving it 5-stars is a lack of a website blocklist in version 10, but 9 had a fully functioning one.
