## Review summary

Users say the add-on was once reliable, easy to use and a handy free YouTube downloader. Recently many report it often fails or the button disappears, pushes third‑party download software (seen as bloatware/scam), limits free downloads to low quality, and has moved toward paid/trial behavior. Several users therefore uninstalled or no longer recommend it.

### Pros

- Used to be reliable and worked well for downloading (many users say it was 'perfect' or 'really good').
- Convenient/easy one-click downloads for YouTube content (several users praised its usefulness).
- Free functionality previously available (multiple users noted it was a good free app).

### Cons

- Now often doesn't work: button or extension functionality not appearing or failing to download (mentioned in several reviews).
- Pushes or requires installing third‑party software/bloatware or a trial download manager; users describe this as scammy or malware‑like.
- Free downloads are limited to low quality (several users report only ~380p or generally low resolution).
- Shift to paid/trial model or imposed fees; users report monetization where it used to be free.
