posted 17 days agoHi! Thanks so much for your feedback and for using YT Video Saver.
It looks like the issue you experienced may be due to how the format was selected. Just a heads-up: when downloading a video, please select only the correct MP4 format for the resolution you want. For example, if you want to download a video in 360p, choose “MP4 360p” only. Do not select both audio and video formats separately, as this can result in audio-only files or playback issues.
Currently, we support:
MP4 for video resolutions up to 2K (1440p)
WEBM for 4K and higher resolutions
We also use modern video codecs like AV1 and M4A to deliver better quality and smaller file sizes. However, these may not be supported on older devices or outdated video players — especially on older MacBooks.
We recommend using the latest version of VLC Media Player, which supports all the formats and codecs we use.
Please give it another try with the correct selection — it should work just fine! If you still face any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@ytvideosaver.com. We're here to help!
Thanks again for your support and helpful feedback. 😊 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18723004, 19 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Narsyzyst, 3 months agoA powerful and FAST!! uT downloader, faster than any I've tried ... ever. I couldn't find a link to the developer (Natasa) for messages, so this is for her.
Natasa, I rec'd the following message from Firefox for one of the adds that attempted to pop-up. Just FYI.
Quote: uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

I've donated and plan to donate again. Keep up the good work!!

posted 3 months agoThank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review! We're thrilled to hear that you find our downloader fast and powerful.
Regarding the ad notification from Firefox, we completely understand your concern. Running this extension requires powerful servers to ensure a smooth and fast experience for everyone. Since our tool is 100% free and we don’t force users into paid memberships like other platforms, we rely solely on donations to cover our costs.
Unfortunately, the reality is that very few people contribute. Without enough donations, we have no choice but to display ads to keep the tool running. We don’t like ads either, and if we received enough contributions—even as little as $1 from users—we would gladly remove all ads and focus entirely on making the tool even better.
We truly appreciate your support and understanding. If you or anyone else would like to contribute, it would help us move towards an ad-free experience for everyone. Thank you for using our downloader! 😊 - Rated 5 out of 5by Adonis Torres, 3 months agoVery Nice and easy program to download videos. I recommend 110% to watch your prefer videos and more...
- Rated 5 out of 5by Random Stuff, 3 months agoSO far this is the best video downloaded I have found. Works great.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Noman Ejaz, 3 months agoWonderful experience using this extension it is very easy to download videos from any website. thank you so much
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jenna Lute, 3 months agoLUV IT SO MUCH. WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN MY LAST FLASH DOWNLOADER "DISAPPEARED", BUT THIS ONE WORKS GREAT. ONLY WISH IT WAS CAPABLE OF STARTING THE FLASH DOWNLOAD FROM ANY SPOT IN THE VID IM STREAMING.
- Rated 5 out of 5by David Drayton, 3 months agoNo problems at all! Only feature request is that it let me download all the videos on the page. Right now it seems I can only download videos that are currently playing.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kaius, 3 months agoAgreed with everyone else. Aside from the intrusive pop-up urging me to write this review after using this extension merely a handful of times, I have to admit that it works great. Very fast, and love the "bookmarking" feature that lets you keep lists of videos that you don't necessarily want to download.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Keith Buckley, 3 months agoI have an older mac book pro so once i downloaded the video it was hard to play it because of my older mac so i am not a good person to write a review. it downloaded just fine but then i couldnt retrieve it because my laptop is too old to connect to the download thanks.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Peter Nagy, 3 months agoAwesome, it couldn't be better. Forget all the other tools, this is the real deal.
- Rated 5 out of 5by peter wairagu, 4 months agoQuick and prompt in downloading. Highly recommended...
- Rated 5 out of 5by Michael Mallinson, 4 months agoThis is probably the best of all the downloads - truly professional and outstanding performance - use it
