Review Summary

Douga Getter is appreciated for its ease of use and effective video detection on some sites, providing a helpful tool for offline viewing. However, many users report that it no longer works reliably on major platforms like YouTube due to site restrictions. Common issues include poor video quality, download errors, and invalid expiration messages. Additionally, it lacks an English interface and sometimes requires cumbersome updates. Overall, while once a versatile downloader, its effectiveness has declined significantly in recent years.

Pros

  • Simple and convenient to use.
  • Capable of detecting videos effectively on certain sites.
  • Useful for offline viewing of videos.
  • High download speed when using browser's built-in downloader.
  • Supports multiple sites beyond YouTube.

Cons

  • No longer functions properly with YouTube and many other popular sites due to recent site protections.
  • Downloaded videos often have significantly lower quality or result in unusable files like separate audio/video streams or only playlist files (m3u8).
  • Frequent errors related to validity or expiration messages, causing inability to download.
  • Extension sometimes requires a browser restart after updates and may become invalid due to version mismatches.
  • Lacks language options; primarily in Japanese with no English interface available.
