I've tried many different download add ons, but this is the best one by far. Yes, you will have to make a donation, but it's nothing compared to the benefits you will get. Have been using it for YEARS (I mean, maybe over 7 years) and it keeps working great!

Hello,
It is 3 years later now.
I've contributed 2 or 3 times so far and I've just donated again. Of course it gets a 5 star rating.
YouTube Downloader has GREATLY helped me in many more ways.
I've saved toddler videos for trips, educational videos to help me with grandkids homework, music tracks for marriages, and Bible study for myself and wife, etc. It has been worth more than I've donated.
Please, consider supporting the developer. Some of us know it's time we did.. again. By the way, my last review was around #7621. This one is about #13,220.. almost double. It's only gotten better!

Hello,
I began using Easy Youtube Video Downloader early on. I liked it much and used it much. It became a very useful tool for study and play. I could fill folders with Spanish videos or Feynman lectures for learning. Also, nursery rhymes and Paw Patrol for the grandchildren.
I decided to "donate" to the author because I use it for so much. It is the fair and right thing to do.
Now, some time later, it has stopped working and I get a message like this:

"Since, v 16.4 activation key feature is introduced and it will be the only way to use PRO features going forward, the old method is no longer supported due to cookie privacy concerns and misuse.."

It also said that i had to "donate" again because of the new "activation key feature is introduced and it will be the only way to use PRO features ..."
The developer wrote the long time user and cheapskate donor (me), out.
I should be upset at this because it does not seem fair. I guess I am a bit upset, but I "donated" again anyway. I believe the value and usefulness this add-on to be worth much more than both of my paltry "donations".
Please support the developer! I want to thank you for this add-on. I'm not alone either. It seems I am review number 7,621 (or close).

Much appreciation and gratitude to you,
Ygoloeht

With increased censorship on Youtube, even of historical content, tools like 'Easy Youtube Video Downloader Express' are critical for archiving and preserving videos. It has always worked flawlessly.

For the paranoid, this extension does sometimes automatically open a new tab in Firefox about major updates with the addon, but it happens very infrequently.

this by far still the best addon of its kind after all these years

Has always worked for me. Just needed to re-enter the activation code for PRO that I purchased years ago each time a new version come - yes that means that you need to keep that initial email. I love the add-on.

It is very good addon ! simple, easy, fast ! What do you want more ?
After more than 1 year of use I am still very satisfied with this little software - it works easy and makes his job exellent !

»Never touch a working system«: When my former download app stopped working with Mac OS 10.12., I had a problem. And I was glad to find EASY YOUTUBE VIDEO DOWNLOADER EXPRESS (PRO). It's working very fine even with Mac OS 10.12. and the mp3-downloads come with a much better quality than those downloaded with my old app (128 > 256kbps). I can highly recommend it.
P.S., 2021/05/07: YouTube caused a d/l-problem again, the developer is working on a fix.

Just upgraded to premium. Very grateful that it works though the language used to set it was a bit confusing but email support was excellent and helped me out immediately. Thanks very much :)

AWSOME

Pro activation works great if the instructions are followed. Don't forget to enter the email address used for payment into the options tab of the addon. And don't forget to click "Save" at the end of the options tab. And reload the youtube page you want to download from.
