ruma qk, 4 jierren lynA decent tool. Works as stated. The UI is attractive and effective. Been using it daily for 4 years.
I don't pay for the pro service. That service uses an external server. I chose this tool specifically because I want to download without going through such a server.
The tool is unavoidably imperfect because it must defeat YouTube restrictions.
Without pro service, the tool can download almost all videos at 360p. Sometimes, it can download at 720p too (480p isn't an option). As far as I can tell, the tool loses the ability to download at 720p if a video is popular. This occurs somewhere above 100k views but sometimes you get lucky with a popular video. In the drop-down menu, if the tool doesn't display the video's file size, then it cannot download that video at that resolution. If you click it anyway, the tool goes through the motions but the file doesn't arrive.
A pro subscription provides access to an external server, which works around YouTube's encoding of higher resolutions.
Periodically, YouTube's website layout changes, causing the tool to cease working (the button disappears altogether or the dropdown menu lists no file sizes at either resolution, and downloads don't work). This cannot be helped, since YouTube has no desire to facilitate downloading. When YouTube changes (about once a year) we all simply wait for Dishita to code around the changes.
I appreciate the work that went into developing this add-on. Dishita, thank you for writing it and thank you and for maintaining it, as YouTube evolves.

- Rated 3 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 16966361, 3 dagen lynWorks but, 360p is the only video format option now. Seems like all other higher MP4 formats have been removed which is a shame as I prefer downloading MP4 files with a higher bitrate without needing to be online or having an online presence for YouTube. Still my favourite video downloader extension though. Hope other formats will make a return shortly.

- Rated 1 out of 5ruma fst100, 6 dagen lynthis add-on use to work a couple years ago but YT kept up and surpassed not letting programs download from their site. i would give this add-on 5 stars back then but since they cannot keep up with YT and still have this exist just for the clicks, i believe a one-star is deserving.

- Rated 1 out of 5ruma John B., 9 dagen lynI have never ever been able to get this extension to work. I can't pin it to my toolbar, and it doesn't show up on any Youtube page. Support seems to be lacking. I would gladly pay to upgrade but I have to be able to test it first, and it just doesn't work.
