This is a great add-on to have! I would give it a 5-star except there are several formats not available on the free version that are commonly used. It would be great to have something like this for other video platforms, like vimeo, etc.

Too many add-ons on your toolbar ? Want to download youtube videos sometimes ?
I do. I use this. It's great. Check it out.

We can't download 720p files, even if they were only upload fifteen hours ago. We get the message:
Youtube switched to separate audio/video streaming technology for higher quality formats and no longer provides direct 720p (Since 24 September 2018)/1080p/mp3 streams. Converting these streams to downloadable formats for you needs powerful server infrastructure, therefore 1080p/mp3 downloading has been limited to PRO users. Read more at - https://videodroid.org/pro_upgrade.html. FREE users can download all formats in CACHE where some PRO users fetched the video/audio in past 24 hours, to test the feature you can try downloading popular videos.

I've been using this for years. Excellent app that was even better in the first iterations because one had the option of saving one's download history.

The option of saving one's download history is invaluable. Yes, even for those who are 100% concerned about privacy and security as I am.

The option of saving one's download history is invaluable even for those, arguably especially for those, who download videos and/or images, including erotica or porn.

Of course, if you're downloading video or images that are illegal in your jurisdiction, then you will be super obsessed with covering your tracks, or trying to. I say 'trying to' because the authorities will find you eventually, charge you and prosecute you. You will be convicted and sent to prison for a long time. So the solution is not to download illegal images, not to worry about your download history!

I just donated again for this add-on, it really is that useful. With the donation, you get the ability to download the 1080P videos when possible. It's fast, reliable, and a wonderful way to ensure that a particularly poignant or humorous video can be saved for later, off-line viewing. A definite must every time I build a new system for my Firefox.

So far it's been the easiest to use compared to the other download extensions I've added to FF browser. Plus it seems to catch more media types than the others have. Thanks!

simple, fast, reliable... perfect :)

I've been using this addon for 3 years now & it works perfectly! I donated twice cuz it's just THAT GOOD!

STILL Excellent! simple to use!! great quality!!!

Thank you for making it possible & EASY for me to download 5 youtube videos, that pertain to Firearm How-To's. Those 5 videos have all been REMOVED from youtube, but not before I downloaded those I NEED.

My $25.00 donation should express my appreciation for your ADD ON

love the fact that you can download any youtube video slimlessly, Kinda bummed that you can't download 60fps videos anymore.

Прекрасный аддон работающий как часы и не вымогающий странные разрешения.
За небольшую плату предоставляет конвертировать и скачивать видео в качестве выше 720р.
Что ещё для счастья надо?

very reliable source. very fast and works great. this is the best .

superb 1080p HD videos, direct from You Tube to your Pc , Amazing 1080v video complete with MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) digital stereo. Well worth the donation to help this excellent product going!

As fast as things change in the ever-"innovative" world of burgeoning featuritis, it has to be some job keeping up with change after change after change (all in the name of "improvement") in supporting an add-on like this. The author does a competent job, even as he's working single-handedly doing it.

I use the add-on a lot, and it generally does exactly as I want it to do.

Many thanks to the author for his work.

(And, if you like his work, _contribute_!)

Works as advertised and flawlessly. Great work from the developers. Donating was worth it! Thanks

I needed to download 1080P tutorials for later viewing. This add-on has worked perfectly since I first began using it. My donation was money well spent.

Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express works great and easy to install. The free version should take care of most of your videos. However, to download in true HD 1080p format requires you to make a small donation. Well worth it!

I have changed my rating to 3 stars, having just dontated July 12 2020, I am already being hassled to donate again on Aug 31 2020, Really two weeks later? I think this company needs better accounting, especially now that they want you to go PRO or donate every year.
I have been using this for several years and it works great. Nice to download a video that you need to keep repeating like how to fix something or do something like work on your golf swing when you don't have access to wifi.

I works very well!

Very nice. Works perfectly!

I don't want to miss it anymore. Very useful tool. I have already downloaded many videos from you tube.
Thank you!
