Savefrom.net

[Davidych]

Hi! I wanted to ask about the extension savefrom.net, which can download videos from Youtube, VKontakte and other social networks. This extension works fine on Opera and Google, but it doesn't work on Vivaldi. Suggest an alternative program for downloading music and videos.

@davidych Try web-service tubeoffline . com
It supports a lot of streaming services

@davidych Why is your issue related to a missing feature?
Should such extension added as a builtin?

Problems with extension should be discussed in https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/2/support-troubleshooting and https://forum.vivaldi.net/category/51/extensions

I recommend YT-DLP: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

Web-based downloader sites are notoriously shady and generally filled with scams ads, while extensions are prone to breaking sites and probably leaking your data.

yt-dlp just works:

If you are on Windows, check my tutorial on integrating YT-dlp with Vivaldi.
