The Top 12 Chrome Extensions to Download YouTube Videos in 2026
From the member
GBTI NetworkVidito compares 12 ways to download YouTube videos through Chrome, but many are not conventional Web Store extensions at all. The list spans sideloaded add-ons, Tampermonkey scripts, browser helpers, and desktop download managers such as JDownloader and IDM.1
There is a reason for the unusual installation methods. Chrome Web Store guidance specifically lists facilitating YouTube video downloads as a common reason an extension may be removed or rejected under its prohibited-content rules.2
Vidito compares the options by reliability, formats, resolution, price, and installation complexity, then separates quick browser-based approaches from tools better suited to playlists and large download queues. The guide also covers safety, copyright considerations, and YouTube Premium as the official offline-viewing option.3
