I will repeat what many others have repeated. I couldn't say it better than Anonymous user c94bff said 15 hours ago:

The old version let me do what I want to do, which is download the video and the extracted audio. It also REMEMBERS where I last saved a video/audio combination, so I don't have to keep traipsing around my hard drive to find the place to download.

WHY would you take a perfectly good program and break it so that it is only useful to complete tech-heads? It was fine before. It did what needed to be done. I have fiddled with this new version for about an hour now. I am done. GDit. I am so tired of having to go find alternate versions of things after the good version is broken by "improvements." What is wrong with "you people"?

The instructions say:
1. After installation, go to the options page and
-> 1. Install the native client (This is a small NodeJS client written by @andy_portmen)
-> 2. Install the FFmpeg executable
2. FFmpeg integration is required if high resolution video or audio files are preferred.
My questions are:
Where do I find the options page?
What is FFmpeg integration and how is it done?

This new version is a disaster to install and get it to run and it doesn't remember its last download location. I've chosen the option to not download audio, and the first thing it does is prompt me with a location to download an aac file. It's lacking a lot of customizable options Please do something about this, the previous version worked like a charm. This works like a nightmare.

Not clear on how to make it work. Options menu never shows.

is beautifully simplistic but still gives loads of options, does everything you want

good

MP3 Seçeneği yok fakat bir çok seçenek yinede mevcut. Kullanmanızı kesinlikle öneririm, diğer programlardan çok daha iyi!

The old version that was made by Inbasic is awesome. This is definitely garbage.
Saving option don't work. If you set right path to ffmpeg,that don't work.

Сразу все сохранил, а до этого час просидел - ставишь расширение,а куй! Нет кнопочки сохранить ни где, или пишет не найдено видео, при этом видео-то есть....Эту прогу оставил себе! Даже скачал версию для Виндоус- сайт разработчика открывается сам, сразу после установки этого расширения...

5 stars of course( i'd like to give 10 stars if i can)
Specifically registered an account to comment for this addon .
I thought it was complex to use ,but the developer made it very easy to use.
Thank you for this excellent addon .

I am not sure is it that add on. I used an add-on which was the most useful for youtube download. But afterr changing my laptop i didn't find that add on. But i find this pretty similar. Hope it will give me the best experience

I like that someone continued this to remove the Legacy label! My only concern so far are:

1. The download icon is invisible (but clicking it will work). I'm currently with the new YouTube interface (the one that lets you have a Dark theme), and I remember the Legacy version already fixed that. Please fix it :)

2. In this version, there's no label for the 60fps version of the video, the Legacy version had those labels :) Please update the icons for the 60fps videos since it confuses me a bit.

Those two are my only concerns, if those two are fixed, then I'd happily give it a 5 Star rating :D Really glad someone continued this because this add-on/extension is ultimately the best downloader for YouTube videos. I don't want to go through the cmd with youtube-dl to be honest, and this one just does it in one click! So please do fix the two things I mentioned :)

I would actually give this add-on 10 stars, if it were the legacy version - the "old" one. But I was surprised with the notification of this one when I opened the browser this morning, and there was no Options page, no Button, and thank god I still had the other one installed. So, I tried the old one with a YT vid. song, and it worked beautifully. I disabled it, restarted my browser, and there still wasn't a button for this one, so it was useless to me. I checked to see if it was hiding in customization. Nothing. I used the legacy version 2-3 times a week, all the time, and never a problem one. It was perfect. I can see from the other reviews here, that I am one of MANY with the exact same problem. I do not know what to do now. I am using FF56. I hope this is resolved quickly. This whole transition has been a nightmare, and I need this. I'll probably end up going to Chrome like everyone else. Countless people are already packing their bags, as I write this. It is truly a shame. Thank you for a fantastic add-on - THE OLD ONE - though. I loved it.

Although works, is simple enough to use well.
The only downside I miss some functionality.
Currently there is no way to prefer or not prefer certain formats.
I'm trying to get webm files with VP9 and would like the addon to list those first.
Also when finding a duplicate, the addon should prompt me and ask me what to do.
Presenting three options: cancel, overwrite and add under different name.
