Not worth your time, have to pay for it. Who knows if it works

Youtube switched to separate audio/video streaming technology for higher quality formats and no longer provides direct 720p (Since 24 September 2018)/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. FREE users can download all formats in CACHE where some PRO users fetched the video/audio in past 24 hours, to test the feature you can try downloading popular videos.

I've used extension for quite some time. Recently, after a Firefox update, it stopped allowing me to decide where to download to and change the filename. I wasn't sure whether it was this extension or Firefox that was causing the issue. Thinking it was this extension I contacted support. Within a short time they answered my question - turned out it was a Firefox issue where some download settings were reset. GREAT SUPPORT AND GREAT PRODUCT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Diese Erweiterung ist für mich die beste und zuverlässigste um youtube-Videos herunter zu laden!

Die Pro-Version ist für eine kleine Spende erhältlich und jeden Cent wert. Einmal registriert kann man sie mit dem login auf mehreren Rechnern benutzen.

Der Support ist sehr gut. Und der Entwickler ist sehr flott mit Anpassung des Addons, wenn youtube mal wieder den Code geändert hat um Downloads zu verhindern.

Compared to the other ones, this one gets the job done! I will certainly look into the premium option when I need to use it again in the future.

Very good aplication. Work 100 %.

Note: I donated and am a premium account user.

I was honestly sceptical going into using this downloader. I mean, we all know how sketchy it is to find anything that doesn't yell at you with stupid ad placements, is free of broken functions, janky menus, errors, and just works. This does the job, though, better than anything else I know.

Operation is pretty straightforward: it slaps a drop-down next to the "subscribe" button on YouTube. Click it, and you'll get a list of options. Choose your format and quality, wait a while, and then it'll present you with a download dialog box not unlike downloading anything else off the internet. Alternatively, you can also access the drop-down from the button on your toolbar if you'd prefer, though there isn't a way to actually get rid of the inline button.

Really I can't think of anything to properly fault this add-on for, it makes downloading videos so painless I honestly don't want to think about how I managed this before. I have donated and have access to the higher quality presets, but even a free user gets up to 720p quality, which for the average guy who wants to download a video for offline viewing or memes, is probably good enough. The extension itself appears to be built intelligently too: if you accidentally cancel out of the dialog box, upon reloading the page and retrying the page, the app seems to serve you a cached copy of that transcode, so you don't have to wait through another lengthy conversion process. Nice!

Occasionally the transcode might fail, or the extension gets stuck on a "already in queue, please wait" for an unusual amount of time. But that's also easily fixed with a quick restart of the browser (or the computer in one instance), and based on my experience downloading a /lot/ of videos with this tool, real bugs like this seem rare. The closest thing I can maaaybe fault the developer for is that they're clearly not a graphic designer, and I do kind of wish the button menu matched my dark theme. But a quick look around makes a lack of visual flair par for the course with these kinds of add-ons, so again I can't honestly dock stars for that. Besides, 99% of the time your interaction with this app is that drop-down menu, and the button's placement and styling on the YouTube page is pretty well done all things considered; half the time I have someone looking on my screen they don't even notice it's there. Plus, if you really want it to look pretty, it's easy enough to install something like Stylus and have a go matching the fonts yourself.

Overall, I've used a lot of YouTube downloaders before, and this is definitely the best I've encountered. It's just really streamlined and hard to find fault in. If you want an extension to just nick a video off of YouTube, no if-so-buts no strings attached, this more than scratches that itch.

This is the one. I've tried so many. This works so well I bought the pro upgrade and use it for work reference all the time. Bonus: quick updates after YouTube changes their algorithm.

Uninstalled: took focus away from me after upgrading causing me to lose 1 hour of screen recording.

Posted 12/14/24: I have been using this app for many years and really love it. I download mostly music for my personal use, but have occasionally downloaded videos that I know I will want to look at over and over. The app works well on my iMac and I highly recommend it. Totally worth the price of a coffee every once in a while, and if he actually starts charging for it, I will gladly pay the fee.

Trust the 1-star reviews. It doesn't work.

The Best YouTube video downloader on the market.
