requires payment.

Been using this add-on for years, it works great to deliver the 720p and 1080p Youtube vids that have broken the other downloaders. I very gladly donated $30 to help keep this system up and running, and also donated $20 previously to use on a computer I lost in Hurricane Harvey.

UPDATE: Sept 2025. Very glad to have this add-on back in my browser! The video platforms were being scraped by the AI companies so they retaliated, and this interfered with video downloading for ~everyone~. But now Youtube Video Downloader is BACK, and it is working better than ever! SUPERB downloading capabilities! This is the best video downloader for Youtube ever built! My compliments, and a donation, to the Chef!

This is perfect for downloading YouTube videos. I donated 10 bucks to get the pro features & it seems to have been worth it. Sometimes when YouTube changes something, the button might not appear – you gotta click on the extension icon & select a link in that case. Also sometimes I get a 'already processing. please wait or come back later' or similar message when selecting MP3 conversion. As a workaround, I just download the video in MP4, open that up in Audacity, then export to MP3. Can't say if that's a bug or something else. The developer seems to stay on the ball with fixing stuff, so I trust that issues will get fixed sooner or later. Overall, this is the best YouTube video downloader I've seen yet... :D

Must-have addon. Regardless of paying a small amount of money for pro-features, it gives exactly what you want it to have.
And quick responsiveness from a creator.

Paywalled.

Mp3 downloading doesn't work :/

I am a pro user - and I use this addon mainly for conversion of YT videos to MP3. Really in short this addon is my first preference for my purpose and if someone can identify a better one will be happy to give it a try.


20/08/2020 - since the above review I have lost my ability to download they system prompts me to donate $10 or more - this is just not on! I am changing my star rating from 4 to 1 now.

Great extention, easy downloads and the developer always update it as soon as YT changes something to keep us from downloading vids. It's a pleasure to donate some bucks for this.
