I am using Parallels on Mac. They have Parallels Toolbox thrown in for free. The Toolbox has a video download utility, that just adds a Download button to the browser.
I think this download utility alone is worth the price of Parallels - it “just works”. On every video site I’ve encountered so far.
I also use 4K. They have a free version that works perfectly fine for everyday use. The paid version just removes adds which are unobtrusive anyway and unlocks pro features.
Overall it's a really solid app. I'm highly satisfied with my free edition, would recommend!
None of them work on the Brave browser because Gulag blocks all extensions that download YouTube videos from the playstore. OP is a legend for showing us this neat trick
Rocking the free version and the ~30 per day has been more than enough.
I particularly like that it allows audio rips as well, for those times when the video is not that important and/or I'd rather keep the file size small.
It's a (free) graphical frontend for the very well known youtube-dl.Also allows you to extract audio files from youtube videos. (also works for other tubes and videohub you might know:)
there are dozens of free yt downloader extensions...
Most of them don't allow music files
youtube-dl can https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases
This is what I use, even have a powershell script that uses it to fetch music and then transcode to MP3 and tag it.
Here's a graphical user interface for it: https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/
how do you actually run it?
just change the path from youtube.com/watch?v=XxXxXxXx to youtubepp.com/watch?v=XxXxXxXx
I use mp3fy for audio rips off YT, of unlimited length. Mainly audiobooks and music albums.

EDIT: Link
I've never dl'd videos, but I dl songs all the time. Usually live recordings of songs I like.
Yeah, I regularly download lectures/podcasts/etc, use Vegas to convert them to MONO 24k, then listen to them at 2.5x speed to save time.
