Works for me!.
MoreWorks for me! Note, the converter it needs 1) Is to support downloading audio and video seperately and put them together (which allows some resolutions you couldn't get otherwise) and 2) Linux includes avconv, it's Windows only that requires an addon.
Pros:
Fully featured
Cons:
no 8k youtube yet (in firefox)

Now broken - don't bother installing.
MoreUsed to be good, but the author has chosen to break it. It used to download in the original format very easily and offered several alternative conversions, all of which were usable. It now only offers converted versions for which it necessary to download a third-party converter which make the download unbelievably slow and imprints a massive bar code over the downloaded video, making it unusable. Don't bother installing.
Pros:
Now - nothing
Cons:
Takes forever to produce an unusable result

No good anymore.
MoreGreat when at first - now needs a convertor. Basically it wants to put things on your computer that you don't want. Avoid like the plague.
