Video & Audio Downloader is a versatile Chrome extension designed to simplify downloading media files from the internet. It detects playing video and audio streams on active tabs and lists them in a handy toolbar popup, allowing you to easily choose and download individual media items. Key features include showing the number of detected streams via badge icon text, copying download links directly to clipboard, and the ability to download all media items at once as a zipped file.

Please note, this extension does not support YouTube videos due to platform restrictions. Users are responsible for ensuring copyright permissions before downloading content. The media list updates dynamically with tab changes and can be cleared with a dedicated toolbar button. For feature requests and bug reports, visit the official homepage linked within the extension.

User reviews

Users report that the Video & Audio Downloader Firefox add-on can successfully download audio from some sites and videos from certain less common sources like pornhub and whyp.it. However, it consistently fails to work with Youtube and struggles with blob video formats. Many mention it breaks videos into multiple short clips without sound and downloads files only after full loading, resulting in multiple separate parts. Some also report it does not detect audio on various sites, limiting its usefulness.

Pros

Able to discover and download audio from certain websites.
Works well on some less common sites like whyp.it.
Can download videos from certain adult sites like pornhub.

Cons

Fails to work properly with Youtube, as mentioned in multiple reviews.
Breaks down videos into multiple short clips without sound and multiple audio files, making it less useful.
Does not detect audio on some specific sites such as lernen.goethe.de and Vkontakte.
Only downloads parts that have fully loaded, often resulting in multiple separate files rather than a single complete video file.

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.

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