User reviews

Video Hunter is praised for its ease of use, speed, and reliability in downloading videos from various sites. However, users frequently report it does not work with Netflix or copyrighted content. Additionally, the lack of visible interface elements and instructions causes confusion, and M3U8 file downloads have issues combining into single videos. Overall, while effective for many downloads, limitations exist with protected content and certain file types.
Pros

  • Effectively downloads videos on supported sites.

Cons
  • Does not work for Netflix or protected content.
  • No clear instructions or visible interface elements which confuse users on usage.
  • Issues with downloading M3U8 files properly, such as failure to combine segments into one MP4 file.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Video Hunter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
