Besides downloading videos, Addoncrop’s extension offers several useful features. It allows you to take a screenshot of videos by clicking on the Camera icon (next to the autoplay button). You can also hide YouTube comments.

Click the Install through CrossPilot button on the left side. Grant the required permissions, and you’ll see the extension downloaded in your browser.

2. Internet Download Manager
IDM Video Downloader
Internet Download Manager, or IDM, is a widely used tool for downloading different types of files, not just videos. Although you can download the IDM extension from the Chrome Web Store, it works only if the IDM software is installed on your computer. So, you’ll have to download the software along with the extension. Once you’ve done both, restart your browser.

To download the videos from YouTube, open any video on YouTube. You’ll notice a Download This Video button with the IDM logo in the top-right corner of the video player. Click on it and choose the file format and video resolution.

Next, IDM will show a dialog box asking you to choose the folder for saving video and description (optional). Lastly, click the Start Download button, and IDM saves the video in the specified folder.
