I can't tell if this is actually a new project or if you forked, extended, and changed the license of an existing MPL 2.0 project. The latter would be a bad thing.
You have a commit titled "Full rewrite!!" but I'm not about to go do a comparison to see how "full" it is. If it is indeed a complete clean reimplementation then I would recommend making it a new project so it doesn't look like you took someone's FOSS code and relicensed it for yourself.
- This started as a fork but was fully rewritten from scratch. No code is used from the original repo, so I also chose to make the license more premissive.
  See this commit!
  You have some good points but if I made a new repo from scratch, it would break many links, including links in the add-on's store page, the add-on itself and search engines. It would also kill every watcher/issue/PR etc so I don't think it's really a good idea.
  If you have a clean solution to solve this I'd love to hear it!
- Full rewrites do happen. The first commit of PiKVM is a copy of my repo: https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm/commit/70eebd5c59da26dc3f6ad56730adbb616055f4e5#diff-b335630551682c19a781afebcf4d07bf978fb1f8ac04c6bf87428ed5106870f5R4. I was referenced there for a long time before eventually being removed, and I'm pretty sure by then my code had been fully rewritten.
  Though I did find it funny when LTT covered them and said they complained about a copycat who wasn't giving them credit 😆

Yay I was looking for something like this! Thanks!
- You're welcome! Happy to help!!

It's nice but the UI could be prettier imo.
- What's some specific elements of the UI you dislike and how would you improve it?
  
  I'll look on my PC later was on my phone

Is this like IDM?
- What's IDM?
  
  After looking it up, yes it's a bit like IDM (Internet Download Manager) but has less features (like it's not separating which files are audio, video... yet?), however it's available on mobile as well so there's that
