Steelf1sh (ID: 0000000af8f9b0ae) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/22/2018 Hey. I was lurking around looking for an extension to 9gag that would make it easier to download gifs and jpgs as they are all now only downloadable as webm and webp.... its so fkn annoyin if i wanna save something.. which happens frequently. Now all the best online converters are failing too so i am kinda desperate. I read somewhere that its possible to get the gif url from the site but at that time there was plenty good and fast converters and now i cant seem to find any info of even how to do that. I love the features that you have included in this extension. You have better features than any other 9gag extension already. And the fact that you can switch each feature on and off is just amazing, superb just as it should be. Thank you. But please help us and add a gif/mp4/jpeg download function too, so we can use 9gag like we could in the old days.... I would be so happy. And i will share and promote this extension aggressively if you doo ;) add me on discord: Steelfish#4736 if you wanna chat. thx:)
