pretty good to just download a video from a random website (particularly youtube) without much issue. BUT they want SO BAD for you to get the "companion app", and if you're going to do that, get youtube-dl.

Up from four stars (mid 2018) to five after I discovered a workaround to a perceived problem with a BBC page:

I could knock off a star for the troublesome 'Support site' link here, but honey works better than vinegar:

Many of the one-star reviews here are misleading. Maybe from people who could not easily find relevant support.

Hace lo mismo que otras extensiones hacen de forma gratuita y encima es muy lento. No recomendado

Video Download Helper has worked on about 90 pct. of the videos I have wished to keep in my travel and documentary library, I use OBS Studio when Video Download helper does not work, but only as a last resort, since I have to record the video in real time, which is not possible if it is longer than 30 mins or so due to the large file sizes screen scrapers create.

I would say that this extension is as good as it gets, I do not need paid features, but if someone is seeking those, I would recommend it.

It does not nag users with malware, ransomware, or the games other services play, and that is why I recommend it above all other video download tools I enjoy, since I enjoy travelogues and documentaries a great deal on youtube, and save the most meaningful ones.
