I get: "Youtube switched to separate audio/video streaming technology for higher quality formats and no longer provides direct 1080p/mp3 streams. Converting these streams to downloadable formats for you needs powerful server infrastructure, therefore 1080p/mp3 downloading has been limited to PRO users.

Read more at - https://videodroid.org/pro_upgrade.html" when trying to download mp3 audio track. You know what, developers?! Get a 1 star.

Using Firefox 56, macOS, this add-on does not work.

Not working. Produces an empty file.

Prompts you to buy paid version for high quality downloads.

Since YouTube changed their download policies, I keep getting pop ups from this program telling me I have to update. I'm not even on YouTube when it happens. If I try to upgrade to the new version, I'm told I have to pay. Instead, I'm going to remove it, and hopefully end the frequent pop ups.

Antes era la mejor, ahora para bajar cualquier cosa de mediana calidad te pide pagar la versión pro... deberían indicar que es pagada y listo..

hi, I want to report a missing "download tab".
It was ok til last night. It dissapeared troday after Easy Youtube video downloader updomatic update.
Using W10, and firefox 55.0.3 (64-bit).

no 1 youtube downloader and doesn't have support for new youtube layout: "WARNING : 'Easy Youtube Video Downloader' is not compatible with the experimental YouTube Material Layout
which is under BETA testing".

Can't use mp3 downloading unless I go pro.

This add-on appears to require access to much more information than it really needs, including your full browser history.

The only way to get 1080p download ability requires the pro version which cost money. The quality that you see on youtube is just not there. The add on works but when you major feature is not available this is false advertising.

This add-on can:
Access your data for all websites

PRO UPGRADE : Since Youtube no longer provides direct download links for 1080p and MP3 qualities these two qualities require server infrastructure for processing, therefore user needs to Pay and Upgrade here >>>, you have the choice to pay whatever you want for this one-time upgrade which helps me keep this service alive for all users.


Why does it want your user data from all websites?
It requires pay upgrade. although it says it can be any amount you want it forces you to pay $30 to upgrade it.

If you just want to download mp3 there was another one in the addon page that requests your info from ONLY youtube.com, is completely free, two easy clicks to download the vid as mp3 and works well. Won't name it but it's on the same list.

Some one thought it was fine to put up a red banner that cant even be closed or removed from Youtube screen to affect our youtube experience just because they can .... like your plugin aint working with experimental youtube interface but why the heck you have to affect my youtube experience for it? My videos and suggested videos even load because of this stupid red banner of yours....uninstalling right now...

Works like a charm!!!

14 Sep 2021 : Still works like a charm!!!!

5 Mar 2025 : Doesn't work at all anymore! I upgraded to the pro version a while back. I have no idea how to fix it and zero feedback from the author.

Потраченее время

При просмотре, именно просмотре почти всех видео вылезает на четверть экрана табличка "Это видео в новом экспериментальном формате и я не могу его сохранить" и ее никак нельзя убрать. Т.е. с этим плагином не только скачать видео не получается, но и даже нормально посмотреть.

No 1080p download for free

its good

Requires a pro upgrade for what others do for free. Better off using another one instead.

Getting this error when clicking on "Install" button:
"this add-on could not be installed because it appears to be corrupted in mozilla"
