Features & Capabilities

YouTube Download Plus is a Chrome extension that enhances your YouTube experience by adding convenient download buttons for videos. These buttons enable users to easily forward video URLs to a downloader service of their choice for MP3 or MP4 formats. This extension does not impose a default downloader service; instead, users must configure their preferred service URL in the settings before first use, ensuring flexibility and control.

Please note, YouTube Download Plus encourages downloading only videos that are licensed under Creative Commons or are in the public domain, respecting copyright regulations. The extension also offers an option for users to support ongoing development through a small donation, with a note displayed post-installation. Simplify your media downloads from YouTube with this user-friendly and customizable extension.

User Reviews

Most reviews indicate the add-on no longer functions. It was highly regarded in the past, but YouTube changes broke its functionality. The remaining comments describe intermittent reliability and a generally non-functional state, with nostalgia for its former performance.

Pros

Historically worked very well; was considered one of the best YouTube downloaders before YouTube changes.
Strong performance when it functioned as intended (reported by users before it stopped working).

Cons

Currently not working / not functioning for most users.
Broken by YouTube changes; external platform changes have rendered the add-on non-functional.
Intermittent reliability; some users report it sometimes works but is generally unreliable.

Is YouTube Download Plus Safe?

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.

YouTube Download Plus requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

YouTube Download Plus has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
