Two major points:
1. This is a remarkable engine for those who want to save videos posted to YouTube but don’t want any accompanying advertising or other ancillary materials. I’ve been using it for a little more than 2 years (my initial brief review follows this new one). I do not use it extensively but it has benefited me every time I do use it and will likely do the same for anyone who wants their data present on their personal devices.
2. The individual behind this extension, Deepesh Agarwal, is real. He is also responsive and helpful. My recent interaction with him will tell you why I think his form of customer service is among the extension’s most favorable features. I had recently downloaded several videos from a bespoke collection that I knew would have a limited lifespan on YouTube (to be available for about 1½ months total, after which they would become private). For some reason, two of the videos would download to my desktop machine only as audio files. I could not get the full video-plus-audio version. I wrote to the developer (he & I had an email exchange in 2024 when I needed some help with account activation). I find it remarkable to say this, but he answered me less than an hour later, giving me a set of instructions plus links to where I could find the same instructions on the extension website. They were clear and easy to follow. After a glitch or two on my part, I resolved the issue.
His instructions and the visuals he provided as aids made the solution far easier for me than I would have thought. I am in my 80s, and this type of communication, involving language and activity that are somewhat foreign to me, has usually proved difficult. But I was able to follow his process, even though I needed a second run-through it to get it right.
I unhesitatingly recommend this unique and extremely useful add-on.
[MY INITIAL REVIEW, about 2 years ago follows]
I was surprised to learn there was such a feature as the Easy YouTube Video Downloader. It works quite well. Although initially I had a few hiccups w/ the Pro version (for downloading HD-1080P vids), giving it time allowed it to work as it was meant to. Count me as happy overall.
