Video & Audio Downloader is a powerful Chrome extension designed to simplify the downloading of video and audio streams directly from your browser. Once media content is loaded and played on any website (except YouTube due to restrictions), this extension automatically detects available media files and presents them in an easy-to-use toolbar popup.

Features include real-time detection of media streams on the active tab, the ability to download individual or multiple files at once as a ZIP archive, and the convenience of copying download links to the clipboard. The extension displays a badge icon indicating the number of detected media items, enhancing user awareness and interaction.

Please note that this extension does not support YouTube videos due to Google and Chrome Web Store policies, and users are responsible for verifying copyright permissions before downloading any content.

Suggest adding a blind audio capture option or something to get around the ytm restrictions. Right now that would be handy since YTM makes it such a pain to dl music without premium.
