Users report that YouTube Converter Button was once a reliable and free tool for downloading videos from YouTube. However, many complain that it now forces installation of third-party software, promotes bloatware, and limits downloads to low quality unless paid. The shift to a paid model and stability issues have caused user dissatisfaction. Despite this, some users still find it useful at basic quality and appreciate the developer's efforts.

Currently works with YouTube and allows free downloads at 380p quality.
Appreciated by some users who support the developer by disabling ad-blockers or expressing gratitude.

Now requires installation of additional software or trial downloads, which is seen as bloatware or malware.
Free version limits video downloads to low quality (380p).
Has transitioned to a paid model or imposes fees, causing dissatisfaction among users.
Some users report it no longer downloads videos directly and just promotes other software.

There's no point in using this crap anymore. You have to install a trial version of some pathetic download program. You've sold out and are now presenting digital gutter. Bottom! I don't recommend it!

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.

YouTube Converter Button requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
