User reviews

User reviews for the Savefrom YouTube Downloader Firefox add-on reveal mixed experiences. While some users succeed in downloading videos or audio after patience, many complain that the add-on mainly redirects to an external site, which often has slow or unreliable processing, prompts for extra software installation, or provides downloads in inconvenient formats with no sound or video issues. Interface usability is also a concern, with download buttons sometimes obstructing YouTube UI elements. Overall, it might serve as a last-resort tool but has significant reliability and usability drawbacks.

Pros

Some users reported that the add-on actually works for downloading YouTube videos or audio.
It can be useful as a shortcut to an external website that performs the download, especially after many failed attempts with other add-ons.
The add-on is simple to use and helps users find download links after some patience.

Cons

The add-on primarily redirects to an external website rather than downloading directly within the browser.
Download buttons and interface elements are poorly positioned, sometimes overlapping YouTube page elements.
Downloads sometimes come in inconvenient formats (e.g. ZIP containing WEBM files) or split video and audio tracks, making usage difficult.
Some users report that the external site takes too long to process videos or frequently fails to provide working download links.
There are frequent ads or prompts to install additional software on the redirected website, which some users find annoying.

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.

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