About this extension
Adds a Download button to YouTube's video player interface, letting you save videos in your preferred quality.
Works with a locally installed native helper app — no data is sent to any server, ever. Requires a one-time setup of the native messaging host, which also automatically manages yt-dlp and ffmpeg installations for you.
