I've used this extension for several years, and it's been great most of the time. The problems that we have had are not the fault of the Youtube Video Downloader, but are the result of Google/YouTube changing their coding to prevent video downloaders from working! The developer of this one, Dishita, is currently working on the fix for the latest attempt by YouTube to prevent us from downloading their videos. Give him a little time to overcome this, then it should be working well, again!

the developer is working on a fix

Works great and the developer fixes the bugs pronto even tho someone else caused the problem.

I love this

It just works!

Even though YT changed code so addon wouldn't work, developer really quickly put up a fix.
One star reviews aren't aware of fix mostly.

Great program and thank you for the very, fast fix! Again as simple as can be.

Best add-on to download youtube videos.

Dishita does a great job in fixing problems with this extension that comes along from time to time. Remember the internet is an always changing platform and as a result requires attention and maintenance to adjust these extensions. If you have a particular problem with extension just be sure to let him know. I know he has done a great job in instances when needed!!

This add-on is the best! I love downloading movie/tv/streaming trailers so I know what to look forward to as I am a fellow cord cutter, hence no tv commercials :)

Great extension / Add-on! The developer is quick to adapt to changes in YouTube.

Thank you!

this addon works pretty well downloading films.
It's only two things that could be better:
- I have to do the naming in advance (it's not done automatically but name is youtubevideo.mp4 or so) and:
- sometimes it takes quite a while (in this time I have to watch the film) until I can sent the download to downthemall (have to wait, close and open it a few times until it works)
I'm sorry for the bad reviews of people who cannot wait 3 days until the changes of youtube (wich lead to no download possible) have been fixed.
Good work!

Best downloader app there is, supported by the best developer out there. Don't pay attention to the bad reviews from May 2021 - Youtube made changes to their page code, which broke this app. Dishita was on it right away and had a fix available within days. You don't get this kind of service anywhere else.
