generating download link, pls wait... wait... wait.. wait... wait... never...

Extremely powerfull

Works with YouTube when others won't. Firefox 140.3, MacOS 15.61. Read the instructions. It's easy to miss the Download button on the YouTube screen.

This app is exactly what I was looking for and includes everything I need to download video and audio files.
Furthermore, the developers are very responsive, and I've always had good communication.
My rating is 5 stars, simply because it's not possible to add more.
Many thanks for your work.

Doesn't work. it has been generating download link forever

NAYSAYERS -- LISTEN UP...

I use Easy YouTube virtually every hour of every day.

It downloads videos that Wondershare fails on... but on Apple at least, some of the Easy Youtube downloads don't play the video... this also happens with Wondershare Downloader.

BUT, videos Wondershare WON'T download, and Easy Youtube does, plus all the ones both techniques download but won't open...

Just run them all through Wondershare Converter and they will all work perfectly.

Easy YouTube grabs virtually all the ones the others won't touch, and I would have to capture in real time for an hour, instead of download in a minute or two.

Even with the time needed to run through Converter... it's 1/20th of the time that it would take to capture in real time.

Plus Easy Youtube downloader brings in the titles and metadata that a screen capture can't.

Doesn't work. Stay with the message generating link please wait but nothing ever happens

It works reliably, it works well and it works quickly. Moreover it has been supplied with updates for one and a half decades - that says something about its quality ...

good

I have been using this app for the last couple of years primarily to download YT videos. It's an easy, reliable way to download all your favorite videos. I highly recommend it!!!

Support was outstanding in addressing downloading issues and additional concerns. Highly recommend.

NON FUNZIONA!!!

So I was having the same issues some people were having with this extension. in the past I donated to get the download app because it was just easier and the extension was broken. but now that says "this app has expired" every time I clicked on it. This is because its simply out of date, you should have gotten an email with a thank you for donating and a link to the app, go back there and re-download the installer, for me this is now fixed. I would like to see a message or a direct link to the updated installer in the extension description though.

P.S. old version 0.7.1 new version 0.8.0 of the installer

Very nice add-on that works very well. Author is responsible and helpful.

Doesn't work well until now.

Doesn't seem to work. Just stuck saying "Generating download link, pls wait". Tried multiple times and multiple videos. Still the same. Uninstalled.

Doesn't work in waterfox, an open source fork of firefox. Like a reviewer below said: No download button appears and [when] trying to download directly from the toolbar, it just keeps saying generating link but never does

Works perfect (July 2025)

"Easy Video Downloader" is very useful. They continue to update the app. against the YouTube's continuous changes in their specifiation.

Doesn't work.

No download button appears and in trying to download directly from the toolbar it just keeps saying generating link but never does
