User reviews

Users initially found this Firefox add-on to be a simple and effective YouTube to MP3/MP4 downloader, particularly for short videos with easy one-click use. However, most recent reviews indicate the extension is no longer functional, especially for longer videos, as it either fails to download content or continuously opens suspicious tabs leading to redirection websites. The supporting webpage is defunct, rendering the add-on unusable. Broken tutorial links and lack of support compound user frustration. Overall, while it once was useful, the extension is now unreliable and considered dead by many users.

Pros

Worked well for downloading short videos (about 6 minutes).
Was once an excellent and very simple downloader with one-click functionality.
Some users found it simple and useful for downloading audio files via webpage.
It functioned as a real and simple converter for some users.

Cons

Does not work with longer videos (40 minutes or more).
Extension currently does not work at all, with users reporting it stopped functioning about a month ago.
Triggers multiple empty or malicious tabs leading to questionable websites (e.g., 'Usual Deals!') or redirects to scam pages.
The add-on is essentially dead because the supporting webpage is no longer available.
Lack of proper tutorials or guidance (broken links or unavailable tutorial videos).

When I try to download a 40 min video, it could not download the video. When I tried to download a 2 hour video, it would not download. It could download 6 minute videos, though.* If you're using this to download shorter content, then this could work for you; but it you're planning on downloading longer content, then this browser extension may not work work for you. Though, personally I wouldn't like to gamble on whether this extension may work or not, each time I attempt to use it, so I would like to think it is better off finding another extension. *It came back with an error message. I can't put write the error message here because Firefox doesn't allow URLs in reviews.
