Not working for months even the premium version. Not recommended!

Funktioniert nicht.

This extension hasn't worked in months, at least not the free version. Looks like support or upgrades are never going to be done. Skip this.

After satisfactory using Easy YouTube Downloader for some time within YouTube, in the last weeks I constantly had a problem that I could not download, and on the YouTube site there was a message from the makers of Easy YouTube Downloader, stating that YouTube was constantly making their lives more difficult.

I wasn’t really sure that said message was from them, so I sent following email to them:

“Is it really you that tells us that Youtube again is blocking your proxies and that you're now in the process of making a desktop app and want us to fill out a form, or is it Youtube that tries to get our names and email addresses.”

Not long after that I received a nice email, saying that is was not YouTube, but the Easy Download program makers that put that message there, and they also explained a bit more about a desktop App they were developing and which I could download and mentioned the costs.

I then sent them following email:

“thanks for your explanation. In the meantime I paid the $30 (which is too cheap, in my opinion) and downloaded the Beta software.
Thanks again”

I’ve now used the downloaded beta-program for a few downloads, and it really works amazingly good and fast. Very easy, no manual necessary, you can specify many downloads and then start downloading them in the background.

Be advised though that the default setting in the beta-program is for downloading in “Best” quality. I didn’t think much of it, but my first downloaded file was a very HD file (3820x2160), size over 3 GB and my older Smart TV couldn’t handle it.
I then changed some pre-defined settings (easy to do) and then downloaded the same file in 1920x1080 resolution, like the downloads I made in the past and now my (not so) Smart TV could handle them as well.

Of course that size problem has nothing to do with the Easy Downloader program, that really shines and does a very good job, and I stand to my remark that $30 is far too cheap for such an amazing program, that now, as a stand-alone App, can also download from almost any URL, so not just YouTube.
Please give it a try, it’s worth it !!

FRAUD - they stopped supporting the extension after payment and want to sell a desktop app

persisting failure to create downloadlinks - which means it doesn´t work, which again means it`s not siúitable for the job - unlike it used to be at first.
checked for updates -it seems to be the latest version
like this it´s a complete failure -sorry to say

good one

Changes by Google/YouTube have broken the ability of the free version to work.

Easy and fast download from YouTube, on PC only

Fail

no me funciona la aplicación si hay 0 estrellas

hasn't worked now for 2 months or more, no button for downloads visible anymore, seems as though this is now a defunct add on

Hasn't worked in quite sometime. I paid for the full version, and it's not working anymore!

Thanks, Dishita, for bringing back the best addon in the world! I don't know how I could live without the videos on my laptop (don't like youtube that much...).
I love it and I hope, it will work a long time now!
