About YouTube Video downloads
The perfect tutorial, a lecture needed for class, or a music video for a flight. YouTube won't let you save any of it. Online converter sites are a minefield of pop-ups and fake download buttons. This extension skips all of that. Install it, browse YouTube normally, and a download button appears on every video. Click it, pick your quality (up to 4K when available), and the MP4 saves straight to your computer. It works on regular videos, Shorts, entire playlists, and YouTube players embedded on other websites.
The extension handles everything behind the scenes. It grabs the best available video and audio, combines them into a single ready-to-play file, and drops it in your downloads folder. Queue up to three downloads at once with live progress tracking, and they keep running in the background while you browse other tabs. Need a whole playlist? Queue every video and let it work through them one by one.
Everything stays private. Downloads happen locally on your device, nothing gets uploaded anywhere, and there's zero tracking or analytics. Try 3 free downloads to see how it works, no credit card needed.

The quality list and file-size estimates mean no surprises, and the three-download queue lets me prep assets for edits in one sitting.

Embedded videos on partner portals used to be a pain. This extension detects them instantly and finishes the background conversion while we keep browsing.
