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.
