Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this better than other video downloader extensions?
Three key differences: (1) We handle encrypted and token-protected streams that others can't, (2) We offer real-time live stream recording, and (3) Our multi-threaded download engine is significantly faster for large files.
Is it really free?
Yes. The free version gives you 3 downloads every 2 hours with full functionality. Premium removes the download limit for unlimited use.
Does it work on YouTube?
No. Google prohibits YouTube downloading in Chrome extensions per their Chrome Web Store policies. This applies to all Chrome extensions, not just ours.
Can it download from Netflix or Disney+?
No. These services use Widevine DRM protection, which cannot be bypassed by any browser extension.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely. We collect zero personal data. No account is required. All video processing happens locally in your browser — nothing is sent to our servers.
