User reviews

Users find the 'Youtube™ Downloader' add-on easy to use and appreciate its fast download speeds and ability to download up to 1080p videos and subtitles. However, many report the download button/icon frequently disappears or doesn't show, limiting usability. Download speeds can sometimes be very slow, and a major concern is the add-on's behavior of subscribing users to a YouTube channel without consent, which is seen as intrusive and unethical.

Pros

Allows downloading videos up to 1080p in quality
Fast and consistent downloads when working
Simple and easy to use with a button for quick downloads
Supports downloading subtitle files

Cons

Download button/icon often missing or disappears unexpectedly
Limited video quality options available, sometimes only 360p
Downloads can be extremely slow at times (e.g., 50Kb/s)
Automatically subscribes users to a YouTube channel without permission or disclosure

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.

Youtube™ Downloader requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
