NOT FREE, It's a lie. After a certain number of uses, around 10, they'll force you to pay a subscription fee to keep using. Will NO longer work without paying! On top of that the subtitles have a messed up timing lumping several lines together. I uninstalled this extension and found a better one elsewhere.

It was working fine, now it's showing "There are no subtitles in the video" even when the video literary has subtitles

Grabs subtitles fast for videos that don't even have subtitles. Easy to download in whatever format you want. Update: It's a great app but after downloading subtitles from a few videos, I'm being forced to subscribe + pay to continue. No thank you.

Opps It's clearly not for free, after a certain number of use(like 8~10), a payment windows will appear, and you can't use it anymore without paying.

Almost there! ...but if I just want one language, it keeps downloading the wrong one, no matter if I choose my preferred one in the options. I have to choose "dual subs" and then choose my preferred language, both for original AND translated
