Why Not Extensions?
Browser extensions for video downloading have several problems:
•They break frequently when platforms update
•Many contain adware or tracking code
•They have broad permissions (can read all page data)
•They slow down your browser
A web-based tool like VDO Download avoids all of these issues.
