🎉 My open-source downloader extension is now “Recommended by Mozilla” !
Great news! Mozilla reached out and my free and #opensource #browserextension , “Media Downloader Unleashed!!”, to download audio and videos is now listed as recommended by #Mozilla !
It’s a great personal achievement! When I started working on it out of frustration that you can’t right click and save videos on Android, I never expected it would reach above 13k users and become recommended by Mozilla!! Thanks to everyone who uses it! I hope it will continue to work and improve for the years to come! :blobcatheart:
✨THANK YOU!✨

(Note : If you want to try it on Android, it looks like a recent Firefox update broke downloading, use the Nightly or Beta app!)
@MonkderVierte Well, for streams for example they don’t store the entire video in a single file which can be good. If you only watch half of the video for example it will not load the second half (so saves on data) and it can be played even if it’s not entirely loaded.
But playing these types of files offline is pretty tricky that’s why I tried to make the process easier!
Yeah i know, the .m3u8 thing. Was just lamenting the state (or rather state-less-nes) of the internet.
