Mozilla removed the extension from the official Firefox Add-ons store multiple times between 2019 and 2021. Each time, the developers would resubmit a cleaned version, only to reintroduce malicious code weeks later via remote updates—a practice known as “version padding.”
The extension exists in a legal and ethical gray area. Its primary function—downloading streaming content—directly violates the Terms of Service (ToS) of major platforms like YouTube.
For those interested in the underlying tech, the extension does not "hack" the video player. Instead, it automates the sniffing of network traffic.
