Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express by Dishita
Review by David B
Rated 4 out of 5
by David B, 8 years agoThis is a free plugin for 720p or lower and does a great job - 5 stars there.
But YouTube has split the audio and video on 1080p now, meaning it has to be processed (joined) before it can be downloaded. Otherwise you get no sound (as with another plugin I tried) Many of the plugins no longer work (not to mention the FFv57 upgrade). Another popular plugin took hours and watermarked the output, then asked for money to fix it. (extortion!)
This one did a much better job, asking for a donation up front for server processing. It was able to process a 2 hr HD video in just a few minutes with excellent results. I happily paid for it.
The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is it uses cookies to upgrade rather than giving you an upgraded plugin. I had to fiddle with my security settings to get it working.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Aliel The Heretic, 2 hours agoDATAMINING AND THROTTLING. The extension worked at first, but they have a customized option in the extension's management section that gives the app full unilateral excess to your total web history, typing and any credit cards you submit while this extension is installed. An App that only works on Youtube should not have access to what Credit Cards or purchases I've made on Amazon. This is set to "default" upon install, and the Extension does not notify you of access to ALL websites. Already reported to Firefox for violations. Also throttles what quality you can download (falsely claims as errors when trying to download above 480p, but only AFTER you deny it's spammy (on screen) requests to give them money and "upgrade" the extension. So yeah, overall it data-mines you without your knowledge and the extension deliberately throttles your download ability after rejecting to upgrade. The "don't show notifications" option also does not work, because again, this Firefox extension is designed to delete your preferences only after 7 days so it can continue to send you spammy requests to "upgrade".

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jade Forest, 8 days agoThis in awesome plugin. And has been useful for a very long time. As a musician it is very useful to gather references in whatever genre that may not be released yet or have been out of print for so long they are extremely expensive or not available. Thank you Videodroid for the work you have been doing for so long to keep this extension relative and important.
