Only had this for a few months and it works great - except since late March when (apparently) YouTube blocked it. The developer says he's working on a fix and I hope he can get this working again for us all.

great app

Since last few months, I am unable to download HD video, therefor 4 stars

The easy youtube video downloader works fast and efficient, withstanding all the attempts of google (youtube) to thwart anything they do. I am happy to wait a little while for another correction of a google-anti-downloaders-action. Well done, and keep it up!
EDIT: (nov 2025) Since the previous rating, the recordings all have green lines across the screen and the video seems less bright, maybe somewhat "dimmed". Although I appreciate the attempts, I sure hope this was noticed and will be solved.

Where can I download the update ?

Good product

this easy-youtube-video-downloas addon works fast and smooth. I use it already for very many years. Thanks for making this.

I've tried so many video download add-ons and this is the one i've been the most consistently happy with. The devs for add-ons like these understandably have to play tag with YT all the time, but this developer is one of the faster & more dedicated ones from what I've seen. I'm big into media preservation, but it's a headache chasing add-ons that work so I'm really grateful this one has been so consistent. YT has once again changed how they work so the add-on isn't working at this exact moment, but unlike with a lot of others, I have faith that this add-on will be updated soon, the dev seems really dedicated. I rarely have any problems with this one.

Also I really appreciate how clear the list of formats & file sizes is when I use the pull down menu, and it's not cluttered up with too many no-audio or audio-only options.

easy and useful, thanks

By far my favorite YouTube downloader. My only issue right now is the 720p isn't available, but it's happened before and been fixed quickly. Hopefully that will be the case this time because 360p just doesn't cut it.

nice extension

nice

Really easy to use and valuable addon. Well worth to spend some bucks on for the extra functionalities. My wish for the further development would be to offer also a lower mp3 bitrate for downloading just spoken conversations on YT. To save disk space

Ok
