Awesome. The helper compiles into your ~/.mozilla directory and "just works".

Literally useless. Tried for an hour installing all the extra stuff in github and got nowhere. please make it so normal people with windows that don't code can use it

Very convenient plugin, with help of this no need to have a separate script you need to download your file with yt-dlp. Customizable as well

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.

yt-dlp downloader requires very minimum permissions.

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 Browser Add-ons, 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.
