Video DownloadHelper

The most complete Web video downloader ! The popular Video DownloadHelper Firefox extension is now available for Chrome.

Main features:

- save to your local disk the videos playing in a Web page
- support for HLS streamed videos
- support for DASH videos
- download image galleries
- smart naming of video files
- ability to black list domains to hide ads from detected videos
- control maximum concurrent downloads
- multiple options to fine grained filtering videos offered for download
- highly customizable interface
- convert downloading or already downloaded videos to almost any format
- works on Windows, Mac and Linux

Note: support for complex streaming protocols and video conversion requires the installation of a companion application. This is because the browser (neither Chrome nor Firefox) does not provide the necessary interface. Once installed, the companion application is completely managed by the add-on and you don't have to worry about it. The companion application is free and open-source. It has already been installed over 10 million times.

Note: because of Google WebStore restrictions, the Chrome version of the add-on does not download videos from YouTube. Use the Firefox version for this purpose.
