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?

Anything that uses youtube-dlp, so this one for example: https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui

Better too because it's not running as a browser extension.
