Looking for good yourube video download app

[jazzy]

ive got firefox and have used some yt video download apps, over time one stops working and another works ok but now all have stopped working, no updates to fix problem like before so i figured yt made some changes.

firefox offers some but none of them work now. i do have a ad bnlocker--ive tried to toggle it off and on to see if it made a differnce but it doesnt seem so. ,.

does anyone have a simple decent one or are those days over?

i like to download a favorite song now and then or yt epsidoes of old shows i like--that i have bought dvds of and like having them here also for simplicity. also some herbal instructionals, archeology, geology, space weather stuff, biblical studies, etc etc.
i cant seem to find anyting that works- from firefox-did a search and saw some non firefox tohers but im kinda scared of downloading stuff i dont know.

anyo e have some trusted program thing they like?
i am not computer savy
anything simple i can use?

thanks

Dear User,


As you may be already aware, YouTube has recently tightened its policies on video downloads and ad-blocking, and the 360p and 720p free format downloads are now broken. Youtube has become so aggressive because of the upcoming AI wars between companies (you can read more here - https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/new...ube-for-its-video-generating-tool/ar-BB1qFMjk) and will surely make downloading videos using old setups not possible by the day. Your support through donations is crucial to keep this service up and running.Youtube is no longer providing the 720p direct download stream which the addon can extract.

Paramount + will no longer allow me to download movies using DuckDuckGo I have to open a Safari window so they can track me.

i didnt know about this stuff, and thaks for posting and sharing it. i guess the days of downloading some favorite clips or songs are over. like many other things.

Interesting to learn that this is why some stuff isn't working. I haven't tried to upload any YouTube videos lately. I do have a few videos of dogs in dog parks, but haven't tried to upload anything lately.

I do know that some things are not working lately, but I thought it might be because I realized this week that my laptop is 5 years old. I've been thinking it was probably time to get a new one. The ability to print has stopped. It may be something that I could fix if I took the time.

Hmm, wierd.. What Browser ya'll using? (I see Jazz, yer using FFx..) Can ya's try 'Brave'? It's Solid, and those All open Right up for me on it.. I don't think any 'blocking' is from YT, tho.. These sites are designed to go Around YT's bots (and they Do..) so.. Not sure wassup, but if ya's Can - Try 'Brave'...

according to article i posted link...apparently youtube is not doing something that has always allowed videos to be downloaded...its happened when that big AI Project took millions? or how many from youtube for AI use...or thats my understanding...when i try these all i get is video in screen...not downloaded...the old downloader took minutes to do a big video....also its been long ago utube stopped mp3 and other downloads..i will grab a screenshot...to my understanding.

firefox for me

 

[elkhound]

the above happened in 2018...now since last couple of months mp4 stuff stopped.
