User reviews
I wanted this add-on so that I can avoid spamming keyboard shortcuts to save several tabs. However, this addon frequently, for no clear reason, changes the downloaded file names to be different than if I had used the normal save -- such as by replacing dots with commas. Dealing with the consequences of these incorrect file names has caused me more work than the add-on ever saved, and I have finally given up.
I had originally included name truncation with the list of unexpected changes, but apparently that's part of a default option. However, the truncation removes the file extension, which is still a very bad implementation of that feature.
