So I am updating the review below from 5 years ago. At some point this extension stopped working--the developer said that YouTube go ahead of him--and then the fix that was supposed to solve it put 2 buttons under the videos, but neither one worked. They would seem to be downloading, but when I went to play them with VLC there was nothing there. Now Dec 2025 I am using the extension again. There is a single button, and yes, the videos play once they are downloaded. AGain let me say that as long as this extension works, it is by far the easiest one to use because there is no cutting and pasting needed, so for that reason I gave it 5 stars despite the hicups. (below is my first review)
I LOVE this extension! So easy, just one click and it begins downloading! I have also used 4K YouTube Downloader and WinX but for both I have to copy and paste the link. Easy YouTube Video Downloader is just easier and more convenient. Good job, and thanks for the recent update!

Very good extension. thank's a lot

With the latest update restoring the Download button this is now once again a splendid add-on.

Excellent downloader!! Highly recommend! Thank you!

truly recommend this addon for downloading on Youtube. easy and effortless

Easy to use. anti-capitalist. communitary. single (commendable) man job! highly recommend it.

TOP App

One of the best I have used.

Absolutely LOVE this app!!! It truly is easy, no copy and paste. Just click and go....

UPDATE: I have used this app for a couple of years now and it has had a couple of glitches here and there, usually when Youtube changes something on their end. I am always amazed at how quickly it gets fixed. It is a great app with great customer service. Try it, you will love it too!!
UPDATE: It is now 2023 and I still love the app and the customer service. You won't be sorry for trying it. If you are able, buy the creator a coffee.

I had been using another downloader which did not keep up with YouTube changes. I picked this one because of the "recommended" tag and the high number of 5 stars. It worked for me as advertised with no issues.

An excellent down loader, does exactly as it says and gives so many options right there on the page.

Fast and easy to use, almost always working fine

great add-on

This add on works well. I hardly rate any programs. I do, from time to time, make exceptions, only if the program deserves it.
