Simple | video & audio downloader by Disco🕺Dave

Reason

I'm not techy enough to type in the Command Prompt/Terminal - and other things won't download Reddit videos for me, plus it's an even easier way to download YouTube videos than I was previously using.

What does it do?

It's a little toolbar button. One click and you're downloading a video from Reddit, YouTube or a load of other sites.

• Couldn't be simpler to use.
  
• Automatically merges best quality video and audio into MP4.
  
• Easily download only the audio as best quality MP3.
  
• Right-click a link to download video (or audio) without visiting the link.

But it doesn't do anything fancy. There are plenty of extensions and scripts that do, but this works fine for me.

Why use it?

Succeeds at downloading videos where some other, more complicated methods fail.

Doing all the hard work in the background is yt-dlp, which is astronomically more powerful than 🚀Simple - but I don't need all that extra stuff.
All you get from 🚀Simple is a reliable and easy way to download Reddit and YouTube videos.

Or you can just download the audio.

That's why 🚀Simple was made: to be quick and easy to use and to succeed where others fail.
