How to enable the old version of the naming of downloaded files in the Video DownloadHelper extension - keeping the original name from the URL?

Many people know the wonderful browser extension Video DownloadHelper, which for many years has been helping to download videos from almost any (not only well-known ones such as YouTube, Vk, etc.) sites that use HTTP streaming. Relatively recently, the version for Firefox has been significantly updated and, in the image and likeness of the new version, a version for Chrome has appeared. The old version, when downloading, by default kept the original name of the video file from the url by which we download. The new version is clever and tries to come up with names based on the content of the page from which we got it, or, alternatively, offers the ability to use "obfuscated name" - a meaningless (well, or not quite, didn't understand) set of letters and numbers. A manual search showed that all the settings on the "Smart names" tab give one of these two results, and the old behavior - stupidly saving the file name as it is on the server, I could not achieve. If anyone has succeeded, please tell me how.
