Starting June 2024, adblockers such as uBlock Origin and many other extensions on Chrome will no longer work as intended. Google Chrome will begin disabling extensions based on an older extension platform, called Manifest V2, as it moves to the more limited V3 version.

yt-dlp has been working pretty well for me thus far.

And remember to read the help page. You can do batch downloading IIRC with the -a flag pointed at a text file like urls.txt

Put one video per line and it will just chug away grabbing them all for you so you don't have to type the command over and over again.

You can even tweak how it saves the files, what format it outputs, whether it retains subtitles (if they are included in the video), and you can make it spit out a metadata file to go along with the video file which would be useful to keep track of the content or if you use some kind of video library management software that wants publishing date information, author, etc.

(Lol! You are true to your username. Do you need fast replies? This user is Online!)

That is perfect. Most of the videos I will be downloading are for electronics reference, so keeping them organized in my own crazy ways is really important. More options == more gooder.
