Got an email from the developer and he's working on a fix. I knew he would be, he always does. Been using this addon for almost 10 years and Youtube breaks it regularly and on purpose but he always comes through. Every one star review puts this add on closer to being deleted from the library. That's part of Youtube's strategy. Please, this is a great app, give the man a couple days and stop the negative ratings!!!

5 Star Downloder when it was working. Hope it turns out that way again.

This is the most useful add-on I have ever used. It allows me to download rare piano sheet music + audio videos that are not available anywhere else. These are not copyright violations as they are mostly unpublished or published in Russia and other east European countries. And is it really reasonable to restrict downloads of movies that are 60 - 90 years old? YouTube is too grabby. Intellectual property rights have been taken way too far because of the extreme application of neoliberal capitalist ideology. I thank this developer from the bottom of my heart for this add-on. He is working hard on fixing YouTube's latest thwarting of this extension. Please continue to support them!

Creator is quick to make updates when YouTube changes the code and blocks the extension.

I have been using Youtube Video Downloader for some time and it has been working great until a few days ago. I emailed the developer, yesterday, that the download button is missing. Dishita sent me a reply within 2 hours explaining the problem and that Youtube has made some code changes that caused the problem. Dishita said they are working on a fix to be released soon. This is great customer service that Dishita replied so quickly with the reason for the problem and letting me know a fix is on the way.

This it THE down loader of choice!!!!!!

This add-on works great; I've been a Pro user for quite a while. Occasionally it appears to "break" but that is due to YouTube constantly making updates and is not the fault of the add-on. The developer always pushes out an update/fix within a few days.

Truly it works great and it is very easy to use. I have been using it for a long time. I like it very much

I've used this add-on for a couple years and recently upgraded to Pro. It has worked reliably (and fast) for a long time and has been easy to use.

Recently, YouTube made some programming changes which broke the add-on, resulting in the "Download" button not appearing. I've been in touch with the author who says that a fix has been created and is in the approval process. It should be available in the next update which should auto-install.

Dishita does a good job at keeping this working. Yes sometimes it goes wonky but it Youtube fault. They don't want you to dl vids so they keep changing things. Then this tool needs to be repaired. It's a game of cat and mouse. (updated on 4/4/2024)
This is really a good down loader. It fills my needs well, it really does work and easy to use.
Thanks, Dishita

The new paid desktop app works perfectly -- just like the add-on used to. It's well worth the cost, and the developer is still responsive if you have any problems.

Update: Still the best! Always right on top of the changes to YouTube and quick to give us a solution. Thank you!

Simply the best. The developer is always immediately responsive to changes by YouTube that cause problems, as has happened just recently. Be patient and the best downloader for Firefox will be back!

Great product and superb customer service
