No Youtube

Google does not allow any behavior that supports or encourages downloading youtube videos and therefore this plugin does not support youtube anymore.

Firefox or Opera

For Opera browsers, the workaround is to first install Chrome Extension Gadget.

And similarly for Firefox, you can install Chrome Store Foxified before you install VideoDownloadHelper.

The amount of users is very impressive! Very cool you added support for Steemit and D Tube! I also think it would've been cool if you had screenshots showing the before and after of the new UI.
