In the past, many tools for downloading YouTube videos were circulated on the Internet. Most of them have become ineffective due to YouTube's frequent revisions, so the author also feels very troubled. Recently, after browsing and reading, I found that several plug-ins or tools are very useful. I will try them out when I have the opportunity. Let me introduce you one by one. Today I will introduce to you a very simple, easy-to-use and free browser plug-in "FastestTube". This browser plug-in was seen by the author in "Software Player", but the usage method and steps are a little different. , so I rewrite it for your reference.
Install "FastestTube"
This extension App cannot be directly downloaded and installed in the Chrome web store (my guess is because of fear of copyright disputes), you must download and install it yourself .First open the official website of "FastestTube" "http://kwizzu.com". FastestTube is an almost universal browser plug-in, which can be used in Chrome, FireFox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari. The author here uses the one commonly used by me. "Chrome" is introduced as an example.
First click "Install!", and then a "fastesttube_2.1.4.crx" will be automatically downloaded (the version number may change):
Actually there are Teaching, but the steps are a bit cumbersome, so just follow the author's introduction:
Take Chrome as an example, click "Menu" -> "Tools" -> "Extended Functions":
Click "Developer Mode" in the upper right corner of the "Extensions" list:
Then drag the plug-in you just downloaded (fastesttube_2.1.4.crx) directly to Chrome's extensions page, like this The plug-in will be installed:
Click "Add" to install "FastestTube":
After the installation is completed, "FastestTube" will be displayed in the extended function list:

How to download videos through "FastestTube"
As far as the author is concerned, my favorite is to download 1080P movie trailers from YouTube and then play them. Go to your mobile phone and enjoy it slowly. After installing FastestTube, it is recommended to close the browser and reopen it, and then open any link to the YouTube website. At this time, you will find a "Download" option added next to "Like/Dislike":
After clicking "Download", all downloadable formats and resolutions will be displayed. The author checked "MP4 1080P (HD)":
Then it will automatically jump to another video player. page, please right-click on the video -> select "Save video as":
Then you can download the video to the specified location:
If you choose to download the video If the format is "FLV", the browser will download it directly, and there is no need to jump to another video window to save the video, which saves you a little trouble (but the file name may be confused, please remember to add the file name yourself. "FLV" can only be played):
The installation method in other browsers is similar. For example, Internet Explorer also opens "http://kwizzu.com":
Download and install the plug-in After restarting the computer, you can still download the video:
This method is relatively simple in my opinion and allows you to choose the video resolution and format. Although the VSO downloader is convenient, the free version will be marked with a watermark. Plug-ins will be forced to install some weird software. Only "FastestTube" is a relatively simple and easy-to-use method recently. If you have any other tips, you are welcome to tell me!
