YouTube Downloader Edge extension security report

**🆕 Recent Updates** - New: light & dark mode (follows your system, with a System / Light / Dark toggle) — popup accent now matches our brand red - One-tap sign-in — no more login popup interruptions - New: subtitle / transcript (CC) downloads - Pro/SVIP members can play HD videos right on our website - HD download button moved into the watch-page action bar — handier placement - Slimmer permissions (removed the downloads permission) for better privacy _We ship updates regularly. Current version: 1.3.0_ --- YouTube Video Downloader adds a clean download button to every YouTube video and Short, so you can save full-quality copies in one click — no copy-pasting links, no sketchy redirects. **Key Features:** - One-Click Download — A download button appears on the video title area and on the right-side action bar of Shorts. No URL copying needed. - Full Coverage — Works on regular YouTube videos (`/watch`), Shorts (`/shorts/`), search results, the home feed, channel pages, and recommendation rails. - Real HD and 4K — Downloads are processed with a server-side yt-dlp pipeline, so you get the same resolutions the creator uploaded (up to 4K for Pro users). No browser-side DRM or ONESIE limitations. - Long Videos Welcome — Up to 400 MB per file for free users and 10 GB per file for Pro — podcasts, lectures, and full tutorials all download end-to-end. - Download History — The popup keeps up to 1,000 past downloads with real video titles, search, and pagination. - Clean Files — MP4 output matching the uploaded source, no watermarks, no re-encoding quality loss. - Cross-Platform Paste — Drop in a X (Twitter) or Instagram link from the popup; the extension routes the download to the right site after a one-time per-host permission. - Lightweight — Runs only on YouTube domains. No background requests, no telemetry. **How It Works:** 1. Browse YouTube normally. 2. Click the red download button next to any video title, Short, or on a video card. 3. YoutubeDownloader.win opens with the URL pre-filled and processes the download server-side. 4. The file saves to your device as an MP4. **Free & Pro Plans:** - Free (anonymous): 3 downloads/day, up to 1080p, 400 MB per file - Free (signed in): 10 downloads/day, up to 1080p, 400 MB per file, 1 GB retained history - Pro: 100 downloads/day, up to 4K, 10 GB per file, 20 GB retained history, custom filenames and formats **Privacy First:** We don't track your browsing, inject ads, or sell data. The extension activates only on youtube.com / youtu.be, and only sends a URL to our backend when you explicitly click a download button.
