Summary

Analyze keywords

This extension helps you managing your donwloads. If enabled any download gets it own subdirectory inside the download directory. This subdirectory gets the name of the domain where the download comes from. If enabled you can use a whitelist. Then only those downloads get a subdirectory which domain is listed.

Additionally you can use defined shortkeys to open the last download (default Alt+L) and open the default download directory (default Alt+O). You can change this settings in the Chrome extension menu at the very bottom.

I used the premium once, since then it keeps charging me monthly. I never agreed to that. How can I cancel it? Besides, when there are many videos on a website, its so hard to find the right ones.

clicked on extension saw activated white list activated, no video. It did not play the video stayed. IS MY REVIEW VAGUE? ARE YOU ABLE TO TELL, WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT I CLICKED ON, WHAT I SAW? No? Now you know how I feel. Sorry but it this is the fourth extension that appears to recognize the video, looks like it is doing something, but never completes the task Worse, I'm not quite certain it is a dud...it the instructions or lack thereof that sabotages the success of the app
