I would like a simple way to download videos from the internet. For example, from YouTube, but also from social networks or, ideally, streams. Specific add-ons for YouTube exist, but I’m looking for something more general.
There are probably hundreds of Firefox plugins that promise to do this. However, many of them don’t seem to be very good. Which plugin do you use for this?
Video DownloadHelper sounds like it would meet your needs. It’s even recommended by Firefox.
I’ve used this for 10+ years. It’s incredibly versatile, stable, and effective. I used it this week to download some TV episodes from a (bootleg) streaming site. It’s a great extension.
it used to work great, but (kind of) recently there was an update that made it take WAY longer and added a QR code to a corner that takes up like 30% of the screen. thr qr code sends you to their website, which then says you can remove the QR code by paying them
