Excellent extension

2025=Updated! v21+ published on Aug 2025. REMEMBER TO BUY A COFFEE! :-)
2024=I actually use 3 different Add-ons in different browsers, incl. Firefox developer; EYVD is the ONLY one that have worked on every scenario and it is the closest to fix the zero-day changes made at Y0uTB3. We are on our toes waiting for Dishita's latest update (2025)!

don't search other downloader for youtube videos, this is what you need!!!

It's working again after a period of being down. Thanks mate for the update. Will make sure to get you another coffee! This is the best downloader ever!

doesn't work, the logo keeps moving

I've been a longtime user of Easy Video Downloader and used it to download audio and video files from Youtube for personal use. Recently it stopped working for me, so I reached out to support. They were very quick to respond and worked through possible causes with me some which turned out to be a cookies issue. I highly recommend Easy Video Downloader . The name says it all EASY and it works flawlessly. Thank you guys!

Does absolutely nothing on Firefox 141, and when I emailed the author asking how to make it work (or to report the issue to him), I got an email claiming that he doesn't intend to make it work as long as YouTube has restrictions, and promoted in the email a $30/year desktop app I can use instead:

---
YouTube has aggressively begun blocking our server IP addresses, leading us to rely on thousands of proxies to mitigate this issue. Unfortunately, this dependence often results in unreliable speeds, broken downloads and blockage after a few hours and as of now almost all datacenter IP's are blocked by Youtuebe and server based downloading is now a thing of the past. This is done because of the upcoming AI wars between companies

To address this limitation, I have developed a desktop app that offers several additional benefits:
---

Mozilla should take this false, advertising add-on down, and DEFINITELY off their "Recommended" list.

With all the limitations from YouTube, this extension is probably the best way to download videos from their site. I initially had an issue with the download. If you also experience issues, my solution may work for you: instead of Firefox, use Chrome; the download may stall/pause multiple times, so you'll need to monitor the download progress and click "continue" each time to get it to download. Once it is downloaded, it works great.
