IDM - Internet Download Manager -- Only available for Windows, never saw a proper alternative for Linux/MacOS with the same reliability and browser integration.

Though no longer download videos/files enough to complain about it.

I end up using yt-dlp on macOS/Linux to download videos if needed. It’s worked on pretty much everything I’ve tried it on so far. Though admittedly not at seamless as a button being injected into the page itself.

    Still on youtube-dl here - didn't know yt-dlp was the actively maintained fork.

      Does youtube-dl still work? There seems to be a cat and mouse game with these things. I won't update it for a while and it will break, but it always works again after I update. I figured without active maintenance youtube-dl would be pretty useless by now.
