**** does not work. absolute waste edit: just realized i have to let the whole video play out before it shoes a download button. but going for 3 stars due to the hassle of trying toget this thing to work.

The app still works but only downloads at the speed of the video: for instance, a 25 minute video takes 25 minutes to download.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Downloader requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

YouTube Downloader may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
