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.

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 This is because its simply out of date, you should have gotten an email with a thank you for donating and a link to the app, go back there and re-download the installer, for me this is now fixed.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

Zero anything. No buttons appear, no links appear, no shortcuts appear, nothing on the toolbar. It's like it was never installed. Reinstalled, nothing. Restarted Firefox numerous times, restarted entire PC twice. Nothing happens at all.

I've been using you-tube down
loaders for many years and this is by far the best I have found.

I've donated maybe 4 or 5 times now hoping the app might work which it never did after Youtube did something to the algorithms.; then Dishita released the standalone version that worked very well outside of the browser. BUT now it says this app has expired? Which means .. do you expect me to donate again? Is this the plan to force people that have supported you like I did to donate forever?

This app is PHENOMENAL! Better than any other YouTube downloaders! It works like a dream and is super-fast. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out on a fantastic invention!!

I donated to upgrade to Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express and I'm so glad I did. Even though it is currently a beta version I haven't experienced any issues. I did contact customer support as the link stopped working to access the app. I received a response in less than 24 hours with a link to download the latest beta version. I followed the instructions and everything works flawlessly. I recommend this program without reservation.

The button to select what to download doesn't appear, and when I open the add-on directly from the Firefox toolbar, it stays thinking and trying to generate a download link but doesn't do anything.
