After satisfactory using Easy YouTube Downloader for some time within YouTube, in the last weeks I constantly had a problem that I could not download, and on the YouTube site there was a message from the makers of Easy YouTube Downloader, stating that YouTube was constantly making their lives more difficult.

I wasn’t really sure that said message was from them, so I sent following email to them:

“Is it really you that tells us that Youtube again is blocking your proxies and that you're now in the process of making a desktop app and want us to fill out a form, or is it Youtube that tries to get our names and email addresses.”

Not long after that I received a nice email, saying that is was not YouTube, but the Easy Download program makers that put that message there, and they also explained a bit more about a desktop App they were developing and which I could download and mentioned the costs.

I then sent them following email:

“thanks for your explanation. In the meantime I paid the $30 (which is too cheap, in my opinion) and downloaded the Beta software.
Thanks again”

I’ve now used the downloaded beta-program for a few downloads, and it really works amazingly good and fast. Very easy, no manual necessary, you can specify many downloads and then start downloading them in the background.

Be advised though that the default setting in the beta-program is for downloading in “Best” quality. I didn’t think much of it, but my first downloaded file was a very HD file (3820x2160), size over 3 GB and my older Smart TV couldn’t handle it.
I then changed some pre-defined settings (easy to do) and then downloaded the same file in 1920x1080 resolution, like the downloads I made in the past and now my (not so) Smart TV could handle them as well.

Of course that size problem has nothing to do with the Easy Downloader program, that really shines and does a very good job, and I stand to my remark that $30 is far too cheap for such an amazing program, that now, as a stand-alone App, can also download from almost any URL, so not just YouTube.
Please give it a try, it’s worth it !!

good one

I love this addon and I hope it will work again soon. I read the support site of your website and unfortunately I don't have enough money to donate, so I leave a review.
I don't lie. I love this add-on really.
But (understandably) I mean the old one, 'cause it doesn't work recently (thanks, youtube).
I wish you the best, Dishita, and hope you'll find a solution to the problem.

Many thanks to Dishita for his great work and recommendation to try the beta version of the desktop app, since the add-on was banned from YT a month ago.
I didn't use all the features yet, but the desktop app seems to work fine on my Mac, no issue encountered so far.
I would like also to underline that the add-on was working good with Firefox as well until it was banned from YT, no matter if you made donation or not.
I'm looking forward to the official release of the desktop app.

A few words to the users who are blaming Dishita that the add-on doesn't work.
TRY THE DESKTOP APP

The best for downloading YouTube products

Well it was worth the wait as now that the bugs have been cleaned out the interface works seamlessly on Windows10 and is a reliable and fast add on to use.

The latest version of the Downloader works very well. Well done! The Support team is also very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!

Is very nice extension, i love it and is workng perfectly on My MX Linux 23,4 x64 Libretto XFCE, operating system, i have follow the instruction of the MX Linux website for install the AppImage program for Linux and is working.

Is working nice for the Windows user to, but me i am only on Linux, Windows is end for me, to much problem with Windows system, Linux is better, no virus, no need to pay a licence for the operating system and the programs, all is avalable for free, no file lock problem, nothing of that.

Only open source and free and very nice stuff.

Windows = 0 And Linux = 1

For this extension, and the desktop program version, the desktop version is working better, the extension is bug and stop to working to appear the download option, but the desktop version is working nice with all public vesion of the video, but for the private video, i have tery to connect to my youtube account and try the trick of the cookie for unlock the access to download private and restricted video and is not working, i don't know what i need for make this working for me.

And another last thing, i don't know what is me Pro key for the activate the pro version of the desktop program, because, the developper i never send me in email me key for the program, i am pay $43,82 CAD - $30,00 USD for buy one pro licence key for me and i am never recive in email my pro key, i have pay ad i not have me key, is not good and is not correct.

To the developer of this extension and this desktop program, send me me valid pro key for activate the pro version of the full version of the next updated full version of the program, i have pay for that, i need it.

This is a great app. I've been using it's predecessor for years. Even in Beta, the new version works flawlessly. The few times I've needed customer support responses have been fast and my problems have always been solved.

Works as it should and the developer is very responsive. I no longer have to sit in front on a screen downloading files one at a time. Totally worth it.

Goody in my book of extension life.
