This is one of those extensions you forget you ever installed, just up to the moment when you need it. Sure, downloading videos is a game of cat and mouse, so it might not work every time, but most of the time it really works—and the author has been maintaining this extension for years on end in their own free time.

it works 👍

It works again! That's great. My only issue is that there is nothing to indicate that it is downloading. At least on my end. So I press the "button" and eventually it shows it downloaded.

I'm impressed! It works differently than it used to, but the YouTube obstacles have been clearly hurdled and this new version works like a charm with video up to 1080p. Couldn't be happier.

perfect

It's working again! Hoping to see the MP3 option back <3

It gets better all of the time. Confirmation of a requested download would be a welcome addition.

Really good .... you should try it too.

It actually works! Thank you so much for making this. One of my best friends recently passed away and none of us had the original video files of the YouTube videos he uploaded, so this helped me download some of his music videos in time to be able to play them at his celebration of life.

The is the best YouTube video downloader

This extension still has some bugs, but I'm giving it 5 stars because it needs our support. Some YouTube videos just have to be downloaded and saved. I'm going to try and see how many more I can download with this extension.
