Video DownloadHelper Firefox extension puts a giant QR-code on converted videos and charges $30 to remove it. (www.downloadhelper.net)

I've been using this extension for a while now and it works great, but since recently a QR-code is put onto the video when downloaded (if it's a HSL one that needs to be converted). I understand that this converting process can be expensive and I'm willing to donate, but $30 seems like a lot no? The QR-code is not small either, it takes up like 40% of the video, rendering it absolutely useless. Does anyone know any alternatives or workarounds?

I'm confused. I've been using this extension for years on desktop without this issue. I think it has an option where you can install a companion conversion app on your machine and bypass the QR code. Am I mistaken?
