It helps to have an "alternate" persona that you have groomed on various platforms as well as a prepaid cellphone to for the "verification" call. (So not your real phone. Also invaluable for replying to ads for re-homing dogs. One guy had to move to Canada after replying to a dog ad with the same phone he used to muck around on BF, and the person with the dog googled his phone number.) An account "might" be in the name of a dog that lived a couple of decades ago? [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/cool.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title="B|" width="20" />
Firefox Download Helper seems to be able to get files that sites don't really want you to download. It always worked on youtube for me.
Screenshot has a video capture mode that works even on video embedded in a page, just frame the video window and click Record.
Of course I'm talking about using an actual computer-- .
Phone doesn't apply to me (at least that I know of) since my only phone is a dumb cheap flip phone and I don't use it for anything but voice calls. Not saying that google wouldn't make the connection, though.
I use Download Helper in FF; it didn't work for me when I tried to D/L Youtube vids. I think at one point I even installed a D/L app that claimed it would do youtube vids, and it didn't work either.
Didn't know about the screenshot trick; I'll have to try it.
