I use Download Helper in FF; it didn't work for me when I tried to D/L Youtube vids.
I just tried it; it still works. You have to let it update automatically; every time Youtube (or wherever) tries something clever they have to update Download Helper.
And for some damn obscure reason Download Helper creates it's own folder called "dwhelper" some freakin' where on your machine; you may have to look for it; downloaded vids go there rather than "downloads" or Desktop

Main thing there is your name being tied to your phone number. If you ever gave your name, address, number on a form or something. You call someone about a dog, they find out your name and address by googling the phone number. They get drugged up, come by a couple of weeks later to take the dog back, threaten harm to your other animals if you don't comply. Had that happen. One time. From then on only use a prepaid flip phone, bought with cash, minutes bought with cash, for such calls. Also use that phone to sign up for accounts that you don't want in your real name--
