Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express by Dishita
Review by Meatshield
Rated 2 out of 5
by Meatshield, 4 years agoDeveloper updated their product. Product still doesn't work (for me). Don't get me wrong, the product functions on "normal" videos that aren't aren't altered upon upload. But if the uploader alters the video in any fashion which changes how YouTube indexes the said video, the downloader fails even function. The interface won't even show up on the page.
Example: Say a video goes up and you save it to a favorite playlist. The uploader than decides to change the video from "public" to "unlisted." Because of how it's indexed, it throws a HTTP 410 error. And while the URL itself will still redirect to the video in a browser, the downloader (and every type of of player/recorder I've tried) all throw the same code. So the short answer is you'll have to screen capture videos if you follow creators that make a habit of this. I'm not sure if the developer has a workaround solution for this type of behavior which Mozilla (and browsers in general) account for it at the application level when it parses info through the OSI model that they can build in to their addon. It would definitely be nice.

- Rated 1 out of 5by AnnaSan, 3 days agoDoesn't work any longer. No button or anything shows up on YT. Maybe an update of Downloader(?) which is an excellent add on - when it's working :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18153937, 3 days agoI suppose it's YouTube's restrictions, but, even following all suggestions, this service no longer works AT ALL; No button, no nothing.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14012375, 4 days agoThe new EasyDownloader works well, is quick and easy, all that is needed is to paste in the Youtube URL and in a few moments you will have your file ready to download. Special note to Ubuntu users, 22.04 and 24.04: Ubuntu has left out a necessary library file called FUSE. The fix is here: search "Can't Run AppImage on Ubuntu?" and select the article from It's FOSS.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18009323, 5 days agoUse to be a great and I used it all the time. Even purchased the pro version. Anymore, it's useless. Hasn't worked in a year and there has been no recent updates from the developer. Too bad ... I really liked this extension.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kristo, 6 days agoAs of May 2025, not working on Youtube. So, pointless to install.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Kevin, 8 days agoThis extension worked great up until a couple of months ago when it quit. I won't recognize any YouTube videos. As of now it's useless and I haven't seen any upgrades.
