In addition, it also offers to extract audio streams from videos and save them as MP3 files, as well as batch downloads to save you time on having to queue them one by one.

Works for me!. Works for me! Note, the converter it needs 1) Is to support downloading audio and video seperately and put them together (which allows some resolutions you couldn't get otherwise) and 2) Linux includes avconv, it's Windows only that requires an addon. Pros: Fully featured Cons: no 8k youtube yet (in firefox)

Now broken - don't bother installing. Used to be good, but the author has chosen to break it. It used to download in the original format very easily and offered several alternative conversions, all of which were usable. It now only offers converted versions for which it necessary to download a third-party converter which make the download unbelievably slow and imprints a massive bar code over the downloaded video, making it unusable. Don't bother installing. Pros: Now - nothing Cons: Takes forever to produce an unusable result

No good anymore. Great when at first - now needs a convertor. Basically it wants to put things on your computer that you don't want. Avoid like the plague.

Why not for Chrome?. Please,is there a way to develope one for Chrome too?I know Google has a stupid policy about it,but already there is a "flash downloader",Real player downloader(for Windows only,not on Linux) and Youtube video downloader to mention a few...so,are they stupid or what(for that matter at least)? Pros: Lots of downloading options for one video Cons: Not all sites supported(like Rutube),some videos are downloaded as a sound only
