> No software.
Browser extensions are software.
Anyway try this. It even has Mozilla's recommended tag on it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-download/

>>1511356
Nothing works anymore, YouTube has rolled out different protections depending on your IP, at random. yt-dlp has not defeated everything, I can't even watch YouTube on Chrome with no extensions, it's blocked. YouTube is fucked, give up on it

There's an online site for yt-dlp hosted by some guy as well ytdlp.online

Use OBS and screen record the video is the only useful answer i got that isn't a scam

there are like 3-4 basic commands you need to know
IF you are doing it manually
-U, --update Update this program to the latest version
-F, --list-formats List available formats of each video.
--merge-output-format FORMAT Containers that may be used when merging
formats, separated by "/", e.g. "mp4/mkv".
Ignored if no merge is required. (currently
supported: avi, flv, mkv, mov, mp4, webm)

ALSO, there are GUI's for it

I really hate this stupid entitled cunt mentality

yt-dlp is exactly what you want to use, no exceptions. I usually use this command:

yt-dlp -f 'bv[ext=mp4]+ba[ext=m4a]' --embed-thumbnail --embed-sub --embed-metadata 'THE_URL_GOES_HERE' -o '%(channel)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s'

That gets me the best quality file that is formatted in an mp4 container, works on iOS, most tvs, etc. If it's an age restricted vid or private or somethin I ask it to grab the cookies from my browser:

--cookies cookies.txt --cookies-from-browser vivaldi -f 'bv[ext=mp4]+ba[ext=m4a]' --embed-thumbnail --embed-sub --embed-metadata 'THE_URL_GOES_HERE' -o '%(channel)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s'

And you can dl an entire page or just a playlist, instead of a single video, just use the page url for the playlist or whatever.

yt-dlp

make sure you use yt-dlp -U to upgrade yt-dlp otherwise it won't download the video in 8k

i guess you can use freetube to download videos if you are too retarded to use yt-dlp
it doesn't have ads. it's open source

Does yt-dlp work again already?
Have they already defeated youtube's latest efforts to make downloading more difficult?

oh wait a minute. this doesn't work if you are not logged into youtube lmao

if you are logged into a site you can usually download the video content from that site if you use:
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox url

this won't work if you are not logged in using firefox

why can't i see youtube comments anymore?
