Universal downloader

Download most html5 media on most web pages

Universal Downloader is a versatile Chrome extension designed to help you download most HTML5 media from various web pages. If you find that right-click is disabled by a website, simply hold the Shift key while right-clicking to access the context menu and start downloading your media files hassle-free.

While the extension does not support downloading m3u links directly, it guides users to utilize tools like youtube-dl or media players such as MPV and VLC for playback or downloading of these streams. For those seeking transparency and community support, the extension's source code and issue tracker are available on GitHub, ensuring users can contribute or troubleshoot as needed.

User reviews

This does not work as it used to. In fact it does not work at all when you down load it. Look at the reviews 3 of them 4 years old and no 2 or 3/4 star reviews. Reporting for review manipulation. I know for a fact there were older ones that were 2,3,4 etc...
